If it is ascertained that Avant is just not going to be welcomed by AOL, most likely neither will Maxthon or any other IE-based Browser.
There is always the other alternative:
Remove AOL

I can't.  AOL is my ISP!   :o
Well, the Avant Experiment is Officially Ovah!
Game Over!  Turn out the lights.  The party is over.
This afternoon I Uninstalled Avant and Reinstalled it.  It FAILED again exactly as before.  Right after I Click on OK to select the Large Icons on the Toolbars ... Illegal Operation and Avant won't go any further.  I don't need it that bad.  So, I'm not going to waste any more time with it.

And since I read, I believe on a PC World Review, that Avant & Maxthon are virtually clones of each other, the odds are that Maxthon is NOT going to work with my AOL either.  So that one I'm not even going to bother trying out.

AOL is my ISP!
That doesn't mean you need to use all of their stuff.
My ISP is Comcast my browser is Firefox but I have nothing from Comcast installed on my system.
Your ISP provides you with a means to access the internet. AOL is also the most expensive. 
But I guess they've got you hooked.   :)

Maxthon is for sure secure more than default IE ... You can easily check that by testing ...
