GATOR and Relatives

The only way to really delete gator is to delete all entiries in the registry. if you dont, then it just reinstalls itself.
 
Jesus, why make a simple thing so complicated? Even if you delete the registry entries, you can always pick up Gator again. Just download Spybot S&D and when it locates all the adware (Gator will be among it), just click "fix selected problems" and then click "Immunize" option on the left toolbar. Once you do that, you will never have problems with Gator (or any of the adware you had) again. And you only had to make two clicks! :)
 
Yes, but Ratty, who knows who created spybot? Are you sure its not more benign or just better hidden.

Meaning Gator is a creature for the causal user, spyboy for the more careful and sophisticated.

Ever hear of Carnivore?

Errr...I don't think I'm following you. And what is spyboy?
 
No, I was just suggesting that if Carnivore is known, what is the next generation of spy software and internet eavesdropping? I mean just because Carnivore is known, doesn't mean that there isn't another program out there that might be doing something similar.

If I was a terrorist I think I would think twice before using the internet for anything.

But its all just conspiracy laded speculation.
 
Don't let this evil conspiracy influence your everyday life. Remember, there are people behind this conspiracy, and all people are vulnerable to Kalashnykov rounds.

Hmmm.... But what if you're located in international waters? Ack... Too many possibilities!

Yes lets build a little computer-island in the middle of the ocean, rig it up with electricity from the nearest source and a phat satellite connection then sit there and fart in front of our computers. or sumthin.
