    • Got one - or rather I didn't as my work computer has ActiveX disabled. This was about 2 1/2 hours ago.

                • Well, I've changed my style to the ultralight...and I just got bitten by Gator again. Of course, it took 2 days for it to happen. But it did happen. So changing your style is not a cure for stopping Gator from latching on to you...

                  • Witt: I think he means the colour scheme you have chosen for your windows.

                    I'll say what he was too polite to say: It looks........scary

                      • Oops, sorry, I guess you both misunderstood my last post. I agree that FlameFlash's color sceme is, well, scary to say the least. Oh, and I'm not FlameFlash. I am Wittlich. I guess one can get easily confused between the names...

                        My post was in relation to Gator itself. I read earlier on this thread that if you have the ultra light special style, you will not get bitten by Gator. Well, I changed my style to the ultra light setting (though I did not like the style), I was still nabbed by Gator. So your choice of styles while surfing Apolyton has no effect on if and when Gator tries to nab you (if you're using IE). Of course, after my latest Gator incident, I have gone back to my original style (plain ol' Default Special).

                            Had to do it because this stuff has gotten to the point of obnoxious. How many times do I really need to see that same Britaney Speers pop-up?

                              Why would you do that?

                              • I was using Win98 until only last month, when I finally upgraded to XP.

                                It's a money issue... upgrading to XP is insanely expensive if you don't have a pirated copy around.

                                With that out of the way, back on subject...

                                I've gotten 2 more Gator ads in the past 3 days. That's actually down in frequency from what it was before, but it's still there.

                                I haven't seen anything that spectatcularly stands out in my history file, though.
