America Online - AOL

AOL.EXE is the executable for some versions of the America Online, a popular online service and content provider. This file will be running when you’re running the America Online software whether or not you’re online. It doesn’t necessarily need to be in your Startup files unless you want AOL to launch automatically whenever you turn on your computer.

There is a hoax going around stating the AOL.EXE is a virus that should be removed from your system. This is not the case. Deleting the file will make America Online inaccessible. Details about this hoax can be found by clicking here.
