How to Remove an AFO Filter

Return to normal browsing by removing your AFO filter.

The Christian Internet Filter known as American Family Online (AFO) blocks "objectionable content" from your email account and Internet browser. There is no way to temporarily remove the AFO filter service from your computer, but you can terminate your account by calling AFO's customer support line. After cancelling service, uninstall the program from your computer to return your Internet to its normal function. In order to cancel service, you must be the AFO account holder.

Instructions

1. Call AFO's Customer Support line at 850-362-6180. The line is open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday.

2. Ask to speak to a representative. Explain that you wish to cancel your account. Provide your billing information if requested.

3. Click on the Windows "Start" button and scroll to the "Control Panel." Click on the "Programs" option then on "Programs and Features."

4. Highlight "AFO" within the list of programs and press the "Uninstall" button. Wait for the program to uninstall.

5. Remove AFO from a Mac computer by clicking on the "Finder" icon in the dock and then double-clicking on the "Applications" folder. Locate "AFO" and click on it. Drag and drop "AFO" into the Trash. Right-click on the Trash and select "Empty." This permanently removes AFO.
