...just a suggestion. Dump AOL. Run away. As fast as you can. I'd almost bet my life the reason your accounts got hacked or were easy to hack was because you access through AOL. ...its kinda like the same reason most viruses are written to attack weaknesses in MS browser or email software, but at the same time different. MS will correct flaws as soon as they are discovered. AOL doesn't have the time or expertise, nor it seems, the desire. AOL has been a major zit on the face of interreactional telecommunications since it's birth.
