I am pretty sure nothing got installed.
I do know pretty much how AOL works (had it a longgg time ) and when they do
install something you get a message.
It does appear to be a windows screen. I have seen it before when I have
accidently hit a control or shift something. It will appear and you click it
and
it goes off and you dont see it again.
If you can tell me how to do a screen capture I will do it and send it.
