I just downloaded and ran AOL Active Secruity Monitor at

http://www.download.com/AOL-Activ...2094_4-10559410.html?tag=pdp_prod

And it checked my computer and i have one screen showing this.



But im not running on a home network.(?)
What could have happen? Someone hacked me or so?
In case this makes a difference i am running DSL.

Never used this before but why not just do as the message says and reset ??

These type of programs are not 100% and do make mistakes

Can I ask a couple of quick questions? Do you use AOL as your IP? Have you tried running a similar program from another provider?

We run a home network, unfortunately it's hubby's job to keep it running so I'm not as clued up on it as I could be... Have you tried www.annoyances.org ? Be warned though - they hate anything do do with AOL with a vengeance on there.

Hi Cody,

If you are using AOL 9.0, for some reason it thinks you should be connected to a network (don't ask me why? who knows the strange ideas they come up with??)
If you disconnect your non-existing network, or delete it, AOL tends to go a bit mad and not work properly. I found this out the hard way, so unless you know what you are doing, or know a man that can, I'd leave well alone.
I'm not an expert on these things but it is as if it sees the dsl modem as a network.

Thanks Ailris I really should check in more often hehe... I think the reason it thinks you should be on a network is because a lot of people use home networks nowadays, and it's probably simpler for them to create the software that way. That's just my personal view anyway.

Funny thing happened today (the reason I came back to this thread actually...) I was doing some work on my forum and had opened a few pages while researching. I was closing down the pages when I'd done and one happened to be one for that AOL Security Monitor program :silent: It definitely wasn't left open from last night as I'd rebooted since then...

<< goes off to make a coffee whistling The Twilight Zone LOL
