I have an old HP pavilion a335w with multiple Internet service providers and web browsers installed on it.

I think it originally came with Windows XP Home operating system and AOL as the internet provider.

It now has AOL, Windows Live Essentials, Google Chrome (is Google Chrome an IP or a browser?) MSN, Internet Explorer.

My Sis installed QuickTime when I was not home so that is also on my PC

It also had Mozilla Firefox installed then uninstalled.

I have been using Revo Uninstaller to clean up or "screw up?" my PC

I need to know if it is safe for the OS to uninstall AOL

Yep, you can remove AOL no probs.

 

When you run the uninstaller from Add/Remove Programs AOL will ask you which versions to uninstall (there may be more than one). Tell it to remove them all.

 

Reboot when done and go back to uninstall anything AOL such as AOL Anti Spyware, AOL Toolbar, AOL Connectivity bla bla and so on.

Hi, I see you are using Revo, which is good as that will find all instances of AOL for you. Once it has run the normal uninstaller, it will as you no doubt know carry on and ask how deep you want it to go. I rarely use the full depth myself and find the second up will scavenge everything without upsetting any registry files.
