Their software is the most invasive and intrusive software I have ever had.

Somehow I got it on this computer. It tried to take over the computer when I fired it up each morning or after it went into hibernation.

It was really having a negative impact. A young relative came over and spent about 1 hour delousing my computer to get rid of it.

I think I got it by visiting their site after some Freeper posted that it was a great site.

Gator maintains that its software differs from spyware in that people are clearly notified before they download it

What a LIE!

Is there any way you could get a list of the files and registry entries your young relative deleted and altered, then spot them herfe, or freepmail said list to me?

Gator has corrupted my IE so badly, and the registry, that I can't use IE at all, and Outlook won't even launch. I ended up downloading and installing Netscape 7.1 just to get back online, even after reloading ALL of win98SE and a pair of spyware removal tools.

ANYONE who knows how to get this crud out of my computer, PLEASE HELP!
