    Is this AOL site legit?
    I keep getting this message on all five of my screens:

    Link edited out, since it was a fake link and could hurt others trying to use it.


    I can't get rid of it and I don't want to open it. Is anyone familiar with it

    That's not AOL. Look at it closely.

    2 basic things to study and learn:
    Peer closely at the sender. Your link was NOT AOL because it started out i.aol
    They are counting on you to not notice that little i followed by a period, but it makes all the difference in the world.
    So examine all your senders closely.
    Second, get better protection software - malware and adware and everything else. McAfee or Norton are good options.
    If it was showing on ''all five screens'' (sites you had open) it sounds like a popup?
    Download ABP immediately. It's free and one step. It really does block popups, as well as ads in front of videos.
