“AOL account info” is a fake program saying AOL needs your account information. It claims that AOL was infected with a virus and needs your billing information. It also says you will be credited with a free month of AOL service. This program probably is used only with another trojan. The "hacker" would probably upload the AOL account info program and then run it on your computer. They would then download the send.txt file, which contains the information you filled out. AOL account info will not close unless the information is filled in. 

How To Remove 
Quick fix: no quick fix programs
Manual removal:

  1. Delete the send.txt in the windows directory.
