TopSpeed web acceleration

TopSpeed web acceleration technology is a feature designed to speed up your web browsing experience while you are signed on with the software. TopSpeed technology does this by creating its own local browser cache on your computer, then using this cache to check for graphics before seeking out the information on the online service. TopSpeed helps protect members from phishing scams by automatically blocking access to known phishing scam sites. Please visit Safety and Security for more information.

You can use TopSpeed technology when you are signed on with any version of the AOL 9.0 VR software over either a dial-up or a high-speed connection. As long as you have sufficient free disk space and, if you have a firewall, it is set correctly, there is no reason not to take advantage of TopSpeed web acceleration technology.
