    So waol is crashing on you?

    Try ripping it and reinstalling. You might have something corrupted in your AOL software.

    According to Google, "Trickler.exe" is malware/adware/spyware from Claria, formerly known as "Gator." Claria/Gator is a royal pain in the rump!

    I checked an AdAware download page, and it seems to be only for Win98 and up. The Spybot Search & Destroy homepage said it should work on '95, as long as "winsock" is updated. When I tried to follow a link for more info about that, there didn't seem to be anything there. Maybe Madcap or someone else here who is more familiar with the various versions of Windows in general can check this out for you. Oh, and do you have your Win95 install CD, as the worst case scenario would be having to reinstall the entire OS.

    There is one other thing I can think of to try to repair/disinfect your system, but it depends upon how much physical RAM your computer has, probably 32MB minimum, or it would not be an option.

    Hope you're able to get it reinstalled and/or repaired quickly and without any hassle!

    Give it a try it might work on 95.
