AOL apparently sets http://free.aol.com as a trusted site in IE explorer when you install AOL software on your system. Apparently this was all over the press back in April but I missed it. I have never used AOL or AOL AIM but I did install Netscape (which is AOL software ) about a year ago to check how some webpages looked under Netscape and I assume this is when they messed with my security settings (there was no warning).
Suffice it to say I was pissed. I don't run anything (even local intranet at home or work) as trusted. This could be used for pure evil as it grants very open access to your system. So check your security if you use IE and give them hell if you find it as I did on there feedback page of their website. Name and email aren't required and it is easy to submit. That is the only good thing I can say about scum like AOL/Time-Warner.
