AOL is a Gateway (you have to go to them first) that targets new users who do not any better or others who have not noticed what a rip-off it is.
First you pay a premium price for the services (Dial,DSL or Cable). Then they utilize part of the bandwidth you are paying for to send you advertisments.
Next their software, and the auto updates are known to cause problems to the point that they were actually sued and settled over this problem.
Finally the so called features that AOL highlights are the most virus writer/script kiddie friendly of any thing out their. The buddy lists, the open mail spamming and the joke of the day bunch make it easy to spead a virus all over the place.
