AIM [v5.9] Is Now Your Window to the Web
With the new AIM, your favorite Web sites and features are always just a
click away in the new *AOL Explorer* [emphasis added] window, thanks to
convenient, built-in browsing features like:
Spyware Quick Scan: Checks your computer for a selected number of spyware
and adware programs that may interfere with your online
experience....Relax - your computer is scanned every few minutes for the
worst performance-sapping and identity-stealing spyware programs.

We're already beginning to see default browser being hijacked to "AOL
Explorer" (e.g., clicking on links in email message).
