I'm getting really pissed being asked to install their software all the time.
I get it all the time when searching for something in the internet. It comes up as some security warning. Has this guys been sued yet?

Gator used to be relevant, before the auto-complete. Now they're totally spyware..

Since using Mozilla, I have never seen GAIN on my pc, unless you dl something like DIVX Pro free version, which has GAIN.

**vampireuk** · 10-10-03, 02:01 PM

But there is a nice legal way around the spyware in DivX here

Yeah they do my head right in also.

I have no problem with GAIN on my pc using Opera 7. I also run AdAware every so often.

Gator · 10-14-03, 08:14 AM

Ya, make sure you use Adaware. I don't know what sites your going too, but I uses IE6sp1 myself and rarely see any gator popups? However I am using Google Toolbar with the popup blocker installed so maybe that helps.

Spybot: Search and Destroy is another good spyware killer.

Thanks for posting that. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to want to work with ZoneAlarm Pro 4.0.146.029 It says it can't find them.
