I've had AOL (as well as several other ISPs) for many years and am satisfied
with it. I suggest you logon to http://www.AOL.com and check out the features
offered with the AOL version your friend uses.
I've had my own McAfee account for years. Many feel it is the better option
for AOL. I keep my AV upto date.
I've had none of the problems that folks who insist on using Outlook have,
except, of course, when my address just happens to be in an Outlook user's
address book which has gooten snatched.
Maybe the new AOL 9.0 comes bundled with McAfee's..... I'm still using v 6.0
