AOL Launches 'Security Edition' Software
America Online has launched an updated version of its proprietary online service that includes more security features.

The AOL 9.0 Security Edition software includes McAfee VirusScan Online, AOL Spyware Protection, antispam control and a system to thwart instant-messaging spam (or "spim"), the company said. Additionally, the new software offers features that earlier versions did, including McAfee firewall protection, pop-up controls, parental controls and alerts for unauthorized bank and credit card activity.

AOL previously charged $2.95 a month for McAfee VirusScan, but decided to bundle it for free to attract customers looking for additional security. The new software can be downloaded from AOL's Web site. Security Edition is free to subscribers of AOL's $23.90 dial-up access service and to its $14.95 "bring your own access" ("BYOA") version.

AOL has been making ongoing updates to its service in hopes of retaining existing members and attracting new ones. During the past two years, millions of AOL's dial-up subscribers have fled the service, defecting largely to phone and cable companies that provide faster broadband access.
