Can I manually insert a definition that I perceive to be harmful?

I'm trying to purge AOL from my system. AOL is perfectly legal, but as I'm sure you all know, it's loaded with Trojans. I'm trying to avoid manually deleting so many files. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry I have never heard that America Online, a division of Time Warner, loads their Windows client software with trojans or any sort of malware.

Maybe you are saying it is easy to obtain malware when using the AOL network, but you could say the same e.g. about Bit Torrent or Emule, but this is all 100% on how you use the service, it is not an inherint quality of said services.
