The annoying AOL Search pop-up, current resolve:

Not sure if this is connected or when AOL put the item in place.
However, you can try as a first option and see if the search pop-up
and or any other annoying advertising vanishes.
 

http://help.aol.co.uk/how-do-i-opt-out-of/article/20080430103709990004
You will likely need to be logged into AOL, for the process to work.

After which, if no success, click the link item below.

As for the pop-up. AOL may have sorted it out at their end, by now.
The page link below contains suggestions made to resolve the pop-up
which appeared at in the UK sign-on to AOL, in March 2009.
The annoying AOL Search pop-up, resolve ideas

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Web Page and File Hosts:


Here is a listing for many free host services, click wording
The list does give an idea as to what the various services offer
and if there is any forced advertising added to your pages.

            Once you start paying for storage,
that is a completely different situation
and limitations on file sizes and use
will not be as restricting as free storage
Here is just one listing for a few paid services.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The main difference between free and paid, apart from the fact you pay:
No advertising banners are seen on paid services, unless you have set up something
.

The storage allowance can be more on paid, but some free is really good.

Allowed file types have to be checked for use with free services.
Adult content is often denied on free storage sites.

Some free storage hosts have a blocked words list.
If a word or combination of words is used within a web page or it's source code,
then the web page may open, but shows a number to top left of page.
The number indicates the banned group the wording fell into.

You need to contact the host service for information.


Most free storage locations, do not allow the 'Warehousing' of files.
That is, storing files to be shown on remote sites such as selling sites
or web pages stored by other hosts.
Such storage can lead to the free account being cancelled.
Also, some free storage sites which are inactive for longer than 30 days or less,
may be deleted without you being told.
Inactive, generally means..... pages not edited, no visits to web pages stored,
no uploads or non-actions which indicate no one is looking at or using site.
