OT: how to remove ib.adnxs from AOL client

[no_spam]

A friend uses the AOL client (about which, I know nothing) for email and has started getting a barrage of advertising windows which open continuously - they seem to be from ib.adnxs. This doesn't happen when accessing AOL mail via FF. MSE and Malwarebytes scans haven't solved the problem.

Any suggestions on how to get rid of ib.adnxs? For interest: does AOL use IE or it's own browser, and is there any advantage to using the AOL client rather than the web interface?

Checkout this site.

If you substitute "computer with AOL software" for "Saniflow" you'll get the general drift of the correct course of action.

:-) that's nicely written. Unfortunately I don't think ditching AOL is an option in this case

No idea. I have no experience of AOL

AFAIK, AOL uses IE.
