1) Get rid of AOL and use XP ICF..
(Preferred choice)

or

2) Download and install a Free AntiVirus software (search on Google to find
one..)
 
Greetings --

You'll either need to find a 3rd party firewall that is compatible
with AOL, or switch to a real ISP that is compatible with the real
Internet..

AOL is an on-line content provider that ignores international
Internetworking standards in favor of its own proprietary products,
and has deliberately made its connection software incompatible with
both WinXP's built-in firewall and WinXP's Internet Connection Sharing
feature. AOL's proprietary connection applet is deliberately designed
to preclude your setting/adjusting any of its properties, to include
enabling/disabling WinXP's ICF and ICS.

Kerio Personal Firewall works for AOL in the UK, dial-up and ADSL
broadband.
