My opinion would be AOL is the virus. You should have at least 256 MB. Your PC will be slow and clicking away will only make things worse and maybe freeze up. Have you tried reinstalling AOL? I heard of a few cases where people had to reinstall the OS, just to get AOL to work property, usually after their support was unable to help resolves the issue. Out side of reinstalling AOL I have no ideal. Good luck.

you can put a couple of spaces after each '.'

E.g. "This thread sucks. Thanks."

On-topic, what do you use to view the Emails? (I'm not familiar with AOL btw)
