osprey4 is on a distinguished road
AOL is popping up because (1) you've set AOL to be your default browser, (2) your internet settings are set to always dial your default connection when asked, and (3) something is trying to access the internet.

The fastest way to fix this is to open internet options, go to the connection tab and check Never dial a connection.

Next, find out what's trying to dial out. One easy way is to install the free Zone Alarm version. Then every time a program tries to access the internet, you'll get a pop-up explaining what is it.
