Yeah, we are ok as far as VX2, but I know my GF has had Gator on her computer for a while.
I ran:
AVG virus protection
AdAware
BoDetect
CookieCrusher

but, I have a feeling Gator is still here...

<< Well, AdAware won't uninstall it, will it? >>



Uh, no... AdAware just cleans up the spyware. Just uninstall it from control panel and then run AdAware.

<--- Not sure if Gator has spyware, wouldn't run that crap :)

when consumers want to remove Gator from their computers
they must uninstall two programs: Gator and Offer Companion

and you cant uninstall the offers without uninstalling gator itself. I long ago stopped using gator after the intrusive ads started popping up every 3 minutes and the proggy itself wouldnt autocomplete everytime i wanted it to.

This is my GF's PC, and her brother had it before her.
There are millions of little programs on it, and it crashes a lot.
The only thing I hate more than Gator is Bonzai Buddy and Comet Cursor.
