AOL Computer Check-Up works the same way when you are signed on to the AOL service as when you are not signed on, except when you are signed on to the service, AOL Computer Check-Up automatically checks for updates to itself. If it finds them, it downloads and installs them automatically in the background.

Note: If you connect using a narrowband 56 kbps modem or slower and the update is large, you will receive notification that an update is available for downloading. Once downloaded, the update will install automatically.
