Computer Check-Up
Computer Check-Up is an automatic troubleshooting and maintenance system that fixes problems with the set up of your computer's hardware and software. Although it runs automatically every two weeks, you can change the frequency of the scans or run manual checkups anytime you're concerned about your computer's performance. It's like a car service for your PC to help it run better.
Internet Access Controls
For customers with modem routers we recommend that you install Internet Access Controls because your children will only be able to surf the internet and visit web sites according to the Access Controls protections you set up for them on AOL - even while using a different internet program.
