But no one has yet explained the lack of a "google history trail" to Ellen or me. Pete- If you are using AOL's integrated browser you ARE using IE and you ARE vulnerable to any flaws in the design -- but hopefully you are also running an updated anti-virus program and screening for spyware and adware as well. Do you use the AOL search box which is actually the Google searches? If so, when you do a search using that box the results page will show you the most recent search terms you searched on when using the search box. That is like the Google search history. Joan
