NOTE: AOL and certain other Internet service provider browsers (Juno, MSN, NetZero, etc.) – the Web browser provided with AOL's software and certain other Internet service providers (Juno, MSN, NetZero, etc.) is, in fact, either Internet Explorer or Netscape, depending on the provider. These Internet service providers, however, have changed some of the functionality of the browser. We recommend that you connect to the Internet using your Internet service provider account; minimize the account’s window, and then launch one of the above supported web browsers (depending on your computer platform). If you do not have a supported web browser installed on your computer, you will need to download the appropriate web browser from the web browser manufacturer.
