rate3 rated a 3 because for one .. AOL is garbage for two: aol's techs cant even understand english and for three: i have already owned aol's features ... my own smilies i made .. my own icons .. i owned their gay little icon .. and i owned 13 host names port 5190 ... find a program to switch ports and you can actively hack them have a nice day mr AOL Tech!   mitch ownz you
rate4 Just delete it... aint worth the risk   Ben
rate3 i know that it loads into every process that uses the internet, a keylogger does not need to do this its just an api hook.   Tom
rate1 this a parental control file that is damaged by a known virus that loads tsr's (task mgr list for the boneheads above) that start any variation of letters and numbers, run a quick restore and both anti-virus & spyware scan   fidabodiac
rate1 Part of AOL. Need to leave it alone if you want aol to work  
rate3 Change Internet providers - AOL not only doesnt have a clue ... they dont even suspect.   Brian
rate5 keylogger,this logger is subject to the supervisor.exe logger, no matter what you do someone gets all of your passwords and TOS you on AOL.

rate1 part of aol's excelent parental controls best isp ever   Rob happy dad
rate3 I think it slows my computer down   MercuryDisco.co.uk
rate1 Needed to run AOL. I wish the anti-aol clueless assholes would get a life instead of making their pathetic unhelpful comments.   Roland

rate4 I quarantined the annoying Lexpps.exe and turned AOL on. Only after I turned on AOL did I see this on Security Task Manager. I turned AOL off and this hasn't left. Does it monitor your keyboard inputs only during the AOL sessions or CONSTANTLY? This could be a big problem.   Joe Shmoe
rate1 parental control AOL   Hanno
rate0 If you deleted it, AOL won't start.   Bill
rate0 For AOL to be more than a Internet provider, who knows what's installed on your hard drive?   Jaz
rate0 It may both be needed for AOL and slow my laptop down. So if I want to toss it, how can I as long as I use AOL. Any other good info on this??   Davidtrans
rate2 funny ringtones   kssboat
rate0 Aol seems to have always been one giant virus in its self. Someone said it's something to do with parental control, but I have no children and don't even have that setup on Aol.   blah
rate4 Its a keylogger. But needed to run AOL. Stupid Aol.   Irate AOL customer
rate2 some ludicrous comments made by people who are themselves clueless. It is a parental control file as already pointed out.   Alan Carlos
rate5 It does belong to AOL.....but nevertheless its still a keylogger   Rob
rate1 Ran when sub-accounts are made, AOL process - no threat.   Chris
