Aol
Since this topic is about two programs, I figured it would be best fit here. Well since I switched back to dial up to save a few bucks, we chose AOl. Only because it is free for 60 days. I have noticed that since the change my computer has come under increase attacks from hackers.. I use Zone Alarm, and have for the last three yrs.. Well to date I have had 34,000 attacks on my pc.. Never in the history of me using the internet have I come under such a barage of attacks.. The most ever is around 500. And that was on my kids pc, not mine or the wife laptop.. The most we ever had was juster over 100.
Boy I quess AOl must be a easy target and hackers are having a blast with it...

AOL boasts "more security" because there are "more attackers".

Well the need to fire their security people.. This is pretty shameful for a company who brags about how good their security is and yet they get slamed more often than any other ips that I know of.
