AOL 9.0 VR
Oct 23, 2007 10:46AM PDT

I have AOL 9.0 VR. It came pre-installed with the PC. Then after about 4 months of owning this computer I got that message from Defender. At the same time I started getting a security alert that says I have no virus protection(I do) and that Defender is turned off. It's on. So I dont know what's up.
