AOL Active Update pop-up

AOL is my work's preferred msnger service and I have had to use it even though I prefer GTalk to most other clients.
Annoying part about AOL is the Active Update popup that keeps popping up when something new is available, and it just wont stop until u actually install it. There isnt any option to disable in Preferences. Google to the rescue! I looked up the issue and yes, someone has already done extensive research to find where the issue is coming from.
I just went ahead and deleted both the problem folders! Dont see any popups now.

Thanks to folks who spent time on it! :)

Post-header linked to the article I found.
Anyway, looks like thats not the final solution either...those folders came back up on restart and the popups started again.
My final solution - I started using Trillian.
