    Gator Is Is Spyware Or Not??

    I have always deleted Gator on every computer I find it on. Well it is on my Sister N Law's computer in Germany and she said she uses it all the time. I don't know if I should remove it or not. If it was anyone elses computer I would of removed it with no questions asked but I have never had anyone actually use Gator on their computer. Thanks for your input.

        Gator's been an annoying piece of spyware crap for years. Unless it's suddenly changed the answer has to be yes it is.

          Yeah its awful spyware. It did a lot of damage on my PC. I di however get it fixed recently though.

          Stay away from Kazaa and programs like that. I got a virus so new that there isnt even a name for it yet. Windows went outta wack and I couldnt even get my PC to open.

                              Gator is pure evil. If a program installs itself on your computer, nuke it. Never trust a program that just shows up on your hard drive.

                                Tell her she is broadcasting her personal info across the Web every 15 seconds
                                and ask her [then] if it's worth using it.

                                virus so new that there isnt even a name for it yet
                                Well for one, Kazaa doesn't give you virii you have to be extremely
                                sloppy and go after pirate *.exe(s) within Kazaa's listing and even
                                at that you still don't get a virus because you have to take the second
                                sloppy step and click on the thing after it's downloaded to initiate the
                                virus. So that's two sloppy steps
                                1 - looking for pirate soft in p2p environments
                                2 - not scanning downloads before you click on them

                                The key to running Kazaa spyware free is you need version 2.1.1
                                and then you delete cd_clint.dll in C:\Windows\System (win98/me)
                                or C:\Windows\System32 (winXP/2K) and then replace the cd_clint.dll
                                with a customized cd_clint.dll that's available in a Google search
                                and this time the new cd_clint.dll goes in the Kazaa folder instead of
                                the System folder.

                                The cd_clint.dll is the main spyware engine and after version 2.1.1
                                the Kazaa ppl got wise to the hacked cd_clint.dll that is floating
                                around so every Kazaa version after 2.1.1 will not work without the
                                real spyware installed.

                                If you do manage to follow through with what I explained above then
                                when you boot Kazaa it tells you there is an update and all you do
                                is cancel the notification and stay at version 2.1.1

                                If you need the 2.1.1 install and the cd_clint.dll I can provide links if I
                                manage to see this thread again.

                                      Roboform is what you want. Can even import gater database into it. Great for free site / AVS submissions. Manual submissions are 3-5x faster using it.

                                          Gator is trashware. But it isnt even half as bad as www.lop.com. That thing changes your entire desktop, your homepage, deletes crap and when you try to run thier little uninstaller program - it deletes all of your bookmarks in Netscape.
