Search your HD for these files and see if the show up in AOL or in any
sub-folders within your common programs folder. If they do, you could
make a rule to allow them in NIS and see what happens. If you locate
them, you probably want to scan them first with a reputable, updated AV
utility before you make any rules to allow them access to the internet.
Option 2 would be to uninstall AOL completely and reinstall and wait to
see if NIS requests any action on these files.
Option 3 would be to totally get rid of AOL and use a real ISP.
