Blocking GATOR

Since Gator is not a virus, no anti-virus program will block it.

If you are using IE 5.5 or later, open Internet Options, and click on the privacy tab.

Click on the edit button.
If there is a cookie listed for Gator, select and remove it.
You may also need to raise the privacy level a notch or 2 to restrict access unless allowed.

The next time Gator attempts to request a cookie, select the check mark to always do this, and click on refuse.

Next, Gator is bundled with some web siteregistrations, and some software.

You can download and run AdAware 6 from www.lavasoft.de to find and remove Gator and related 'spy-ware' programs from your PC.

As far as totally blocking programs like Gator, you need a firewall. A good free firewall is available from Zone Labs www.zonelabs.com

Click control pannel
add remove programmes and uninstall Gator
This will uninstall off your computer

One of the most un-ethical apps online. This little beast cannot be uninstalled completely. It hides itself in several innocent looking directories and will reinstall itself and run in the background sending your info it collects back to the mothership. :\ The best way to dea with Gator/Gain and it's copies is refuse 3rd party cookies and set your security/privacy options to thier deafualt levels or higher.

Adware does know where Gator/Gain hides and removes it completely.

Hi,
In addition to all the other answers on Gator, bear the following in mind:
Even when ?uninstalled? Gator leaves a trail of Registry Entries which also need removing to rid yourself completely of this parasite. Pity ?Hanging, drawing and quartering? is no longer allowed, it would be the ideal punishment for perpetrators of this type of program, which are little short of mass electronic bugging.

Good luck,
Peter Johnstone
