| | aolacsd prevented me from getting onto aol. removed it from the add/remove programs and then removed aol as well. Reinstalled aol and now it works great and acsd.exe runs NOT aolacsd.exe. |
 twoodlffe | when running mailmerge between MS word and excel hangs. Also shutdown takes longer as ome tasks do not want to be killed. |

| | This thing is killing my CPU Usage!! |
| mcsefordotnet | This file's overuse of CPU cycles can be stopped by booting into MSDOS prompt and renaming or deleting it from "c:\Program Files\Common Files\AOL\ACS " directory. Reboot and then use the Control Panel's add/remove software to remove just the AOL 9.0 Security Edition. Keep settings and filing cabinet files entries checked during removal. Then install or use an earlier edition of AOL instead until this problem gets resolved.If you reinstall or reuse version 9.0 security edition the problem file returns back into this directory again-repeat earlier steps to reclaim CPU again.

| Romy(AOL-Betatester) | Nein es handelt sich nicht um einen Dialerschutz. ACS(AOL Connectivity Service) ist für den Verbindungsaufbau mit dem Internet verantwortlich. Sie wird sowohl von der AOL-Software, als auch vom AOL-Dialer(kleines Programm, dass die Internetverbindung aufbaut ohne die AOL-Software nutzen zu müssen - ebenfalls ein harmloses Programm) benutzt. Eine Internetverbindung über die AOL-Software herzustellen ist nur mit dieser Datei möglich, daher wird sie bei einem Verbindungsversuch auch automatisch neu gestartet falls man sie beendet hat. |
| | go to add remove progarams then to aol connactivity service click remove then the opyio to repair it comec=s up im sure you can handle it from there |
| Daw | starts computer internet automatically when I turn on computer & takes way too long to log off...gets hung up too mutch |
| Anonymous | Makes my computer 100% busy so I cannot do anything else until it is terminated. |
| elsruoc | this exe file hogs 100% of my CPU preventing my computor from operation properly |
| Jon | absolutely hogs all my resources....hate it! |
| DeadLurker | Caused my computer to freeze! |
| Snadge | The process known as aolacsd.exe is a small utility that will attempt to reconnect your computer to the internet should it be disconnected for some reason. It saves you from having to manually reconnect. / I use it with AOL dialler which connects my IE to internet through my AOL account without having to launch OR use AOL 9.0 Browser software..which is great as AOL uses 100Mb and 50CPU and is a load of bull... |
| Harry (5yr. AOL user | It's an AOL component, so obviously is bad for your computer, but it does nothing to my CPU as previous users have said, the only thing thats wrong with it that I notice, if my computer has been on for more than 3 hours, it slows down the shut down while it has to end. |
| FTA | It seems to prevent logging on to AOL, by repeating itself many times until the CPU is choked. I'd like to know how to prevent it from opening, as I don't mind logging on manually anyway if disconnected from AOL. Rather that than not get on at all! |
| kraYzee | This thing slows computer and chews all cpu usage.....waste of space....AOL need to look at their products before releasing bad ones like this!!!!!! |
| ScoobyDoo | uses all 100% CPU on 1.8ghz PC. Monitors and reconnects disconnections. A lot of CPU usage for a basic process!!! |
| AntneR | CPU usage at 100%. PC slows to a crawl. Dump it. |
| venom | also i now know.. AOLacsd.exe is AOL's Access Daemon. Is something that constantly monitors your net connection to make sure you stay connected. If you're dropped for any reason it will reconnect you. Shouldn't be needed for using AOL for net access but you just never know.. as they say google is your friend ppl :) See also: Link |
| BaddTeddy | Task Manager showed that AOL was using 98% of my CPU resouces while other programs seem to be delegated to a lower priority. I recommend first removing AOL from the Start Up list in MSCONFIG, including the connectivty file itself. Aol of course then tries to reinstall itself later. So you have to turn it off again. Or another option is to uninstall the connectivty program. The main suggestion is simply to use task manager to monitor CPU useage and watch for resource hogs you are not actively using and deactivate them temporarily or permanently based on your need or lack of need for these |
| Dildo | its the aol connectivity services, that uses also the RAS/DUN of windows that's why it eats alot of cpu usage. do look for this service in msconfig then just disable it so it wont run automatically but when you open aol it will run again for you to connect |
| Alfred Wong | AOL connection daemon, if your CPU goes to 100% with this process, it is likely your AOL ACS directory is corrupted. To fix this problem, download the AOL one click and reinitialize the directory. |
| angel | takes up 700,000kb of virtual memory |
| aol fix it mofo | reinstall the the old version of 9.0 the new version is going crazy |
| Joe Weddington | hogs cpu % and prevents linking to web pages by point and click. Web page addresses must be entered manually to access. |
| MissAmeal | I don't like it. I run a small business & use the same telephone line for the Internet, the Fax, and other services that I use throughout the day. I want to be able to turn off my internet connection so that fax calls can get through. I do not leave my computer turned on during the night & this program messes that up. After reading other's responses, I assume that this is what has slowed my computer down to a "real crawl". It is NOT a good program for my small business. |
| Andrew | There are 2 ways to deal with this file.. firstly if you have xp pro disable aol connectivity services there or if you have xp home disable aol connectivity services using msconfig and then in ms config disable the AOLDial in start up..this cpu hogging piece of ****will not bother you anymore. It is basically a reconnection utility at the expense of all your cpu power |
| mel | as soon as my comp logged on it would keep poppin up- and rebooting didnt help. was bad. had to delete anything aol. prob gone. |
