Same problem. AOLBrowserTab soon freezes my mouse. I go to Task Manager and delete the AOLBrowerTabs `1 by 1 with "End Process".
Can I delete AOLBrowserTab.exe without disturbing the AOL mail?? If OK...How to delete it?

I have the same problem Thomas Fulcher had and I wondered did he get a fix for it. I have contacted aol 3 times and they said each time it was fixed but it hasn't been fixed yet. Somebody please tell me how to fix it.
