Additional info If the Square Icon is not appearing (happened to me ) and you can only make it reappear after a reinstall!
Dont dispair
From AOL Help
Quote:

To stop the AOL Companion from starting each time you connect to the AOL service, follow these steps:

To stop the AOL Companion from starting automatically:

1. Click the X in the upper right corner of the Companion window.
2. On the Close AOL Companion window, click the checkbox next to Autolaunch AOL Companion to clear it.
3. Click Yes.




Unfortunately the Auto Reconnect Options are lost if the square box is removed No Keyword or Way Into any settings But The service Is reliable and drops out about Once or twice a year normally for scheduled Maintenance (late night)

So in real time Terms Outages due to 3rd parties is the Only thing you'll experience If your reconnect message come up Then all is good The auto-start is a Fast Log on as soon as your computer starts ...A Right pain! (I advise disable it first thing after installing AOL.(On the Square icon Menu) Its like a bad Pop Up!
