AOL spyware remover

Got it, scans each start up.  But how the heck do I get rid of it as already have Microsoft beta spyware.  Can't find an uninstall option anywhere including in Add/Remove Programmes!

Do you have anything called "aluria"? They provide he engine for AOL's spyware scanner, I believe.

doh!  <slaps head>    I found the control in AOL under "safety" in the top toolbar and have now managed to switch it off!.

Never did find a relevant file under msconfig or anywhere else though!

Thanks for the responses anyway!  It may help someone else.
