what is true bad software
AOL has ALWAYS been seen as "badware" by anyone who uses a toothpick. AOL finds itself in every type of malicious software category there is. It is malware, spyware, adware, and spamware. AOL fits every one awfully well.

The new title of "Badware" only shows how horrible the program and service is. Hopefully, AOL stock tanks and the business goes bankrupt. It DESERVES to go out of business. It is a marketing ploy in the purest sense.

AOL is:
Malware.
AOL has elements which allow it to hijack the MSN Explorer web browser (this is one reason I use Mozilla FireFox). Also, AOL software has a habit of installing countless time-consuming updates. These are nothing more than a few actual programming patches. But, they are included with more desktop internet shortcuts for marketing tie-ins.
I have experienced, in a few of my previous systems, conflicts with Windows. More often than not, these are caused by AOL programs self-installing bundled software (yet more marketing tie-ins).
Spyware: Many have already heard plenty about this one, so no need to explain it.
Spamware: Customers routinely receive emails for new services. Each new "service" is the same thing with a different name.
Adware: AOL serves a smorgasbord of advertisements. Each appearing when a new window is opened. These windows abound with cheap gimmicks, which only lead users to being asked to purchase something.

Most information or "news" stories have some kind of marketing/sales tie-in. This is like every service AOL offers. Customers (at one time I was, when 14.4 dialup was all the rage) are constantly prodded and poked with sales pitches. Each new "service is really another sales pitch/marketing scheme with a new wrapper on it.
Badware: If you read everything above, you get the point. If you still dont't understand, you will be lucky to master a shoe-tying.
Simply, AOL doesn't get it. People are leaving because they are just waayyy too obsessed with advertising. AOL has turned itself into society's posterchild of advertising run amok.
