Hello,

I think Google is using AJAX for that scroll effect. Personally, I didnt know that scrolled, untill you mentioned it.

Here is another way to scroll a frame with Javascript:...

I can recommend calling AOL Tech support (888-346-3704) to see if they can fix it. It sounds like something with the AOL Connectivity Service, and/or adapters since you mentioned you had a spyware...

Being as I work there, I know exactly how the software operates, and I'll only agree that its bloated. I want to recommend, to uninstall AOL completely, and reinstall it- as AOL will remove its...
