Dell Crash Analysis Tool named it. AOL sent me here. Hum, if it's really their file, why couldn't they help me work it out?

This file did not delete/uninstall when I uninstalled AOL from my computer. My PC actually worked great until I downloaded AOL 9.0 SE (which came with 2 trojans!). So, after cleaning up my computer and uninstalling AOL--all versions, I am still left with stranling AOL file such as this one. My computer does not work with the high (great) performance now; albeit the cleanup is getting my PC back to great performance. I would want AOL or any product to remove ALL the product's files upon uninstall. Just my opinion
