Help! Can't sign into AOL - Tilted Forum Project - TFP - Sexuality, Philosophy and Political Discussion

woOt? · 07-07-2004, 11:32 AM

This is strange..

When I try to sign on to AOL the program restarts. If I try to log in to the website, the page will automatically reload and ask for my login information again. I assume my PC is infected with a virus or trojan that targets aol. The software wont uninstall and I cannot reinstall it either.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

woot?

I've had that problem many times...wait a few hours and see what happens, it usually means they are doing some kind of update

I should clarify I meant the problem with logging into the website. I've never had a problem with the program itself like you are describing

That doesn't really seem like a problem to me, more of a hint.

IN fact, I can't log into any website that requires a password and user name. The page just reloads itself back to the prompt.

Cookies are activated. I don't know what else is wrong. Ideas?

Have you tried doing a spyware sweep? I have seen some of those browser hijackers/toolbars actually try and use their site as a "proxy" to track your surfing and it kills any logins that use any sort of security setting to login (ssl).

I think that this is the most likely cause of you login problems.

Have you tried not using AOL?

UPdate...

I found the problem..

The date on the computer was changed to 2014. That caused chaos with a lot of my programs.

Silly..
