Bob??
Not bob, but....
I assume that you're using AOL to connect normally?
and now you have another way to access the internet all of a sudden?
TERMINATE IT!!
It's probably using VERY expensive international calls to log on!!!

You may have a virus/spyware hijack

download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling
viruses are not present on your PC
http://download.nai.com/products/mcafee-avert/stinger.exe

- update your virus scanner and run a full system scan of all files.

Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove variants of the
CoolWebSearch hijacker.

Use CWShredder, the removal tool:

http://www.merijn.org/files/CWShredder.exe
http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads/tools/CWShredder.exe
http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip

download AdAware from www.lavasoftusa.com, install, update, and run it to
remove spyware, adware,
and other such nasties from your system.

person could figure it out.

If you don't understand it, get help from someone who does! - there's not
much I can do to make it any simpler.
