messemger popups on aol

[Sullivan Barrett]

Whenever I'm on-line I get these messages that say my xp
software has a gliche that allows them to bypass my aol
poup blocking system. What's up? Is there a patch out
there?

You need a firewall software that will function with AOL. Thanks to AOL's
genius, the built in XP Firewall does not function properly once you have
AOL installed. Therefore you will have to try another one.
