I don't even get the security warning when my firewall is turned on. ZoneAlarm Pro completely blocks the download.

That should be it, this was at work and we have pretty good security over there.Originally posted by Asmodean
Yup...I've had it. It is a popup that downloads Gator
At first, it did nothing on my system. After I'd had it a couple of times, I turned off my firewall. The next time I got it, it downloaded Gator.

And the Challenge to find the offending advertiser continues on...Originally posted by DanQ
I have indeed seen "your posts". I have not as of yet been able to track down the offending advertiser for reasons previously cited.

Understand Dan. I guess the advertisers are getting very sneaky.

I have a hardware firewall, but I have seen the Gator install prompt. I thought a firewall blocked inbound connections, so wouldn't necessarily be relevant here, unless ZoneAlarm Pro has additional features.
it depends on how you configure it , ......
you can always install surfinguard from www.finjan.com , ...... just in case , ......
have a nice day

Again, the pop-up, and the mysterious 'long window' pop-up just before. This time I was able to grab this from it:

These days, I'm making a point of browsing Apolyton with my firewall turned off. That way I get a truckload of Gators every day. But it enables me to report to DanQ the origins of Gator.
But yeah. Do like panag said. That should eliminate Gator.

That remains to be seen. But at least he won't have to deal with Gator.

hi ,
sure he will , no more pop-ups , if that does not give one a nice day , ......
there are plenty of tools out there on the net to stop them , some are free , some are not , but the best and first thing to do is to plug some holes in your OS by getting the free updates and patches for it , .....

Is it really necessary to run that every time you get the popup? I thought clicking 'no' would be sufficient.Originally posted by Wittlich

Even though you click "no" the damn program still writes files in your Registry...So if you don't mind Gator leaving a footprint in your Registry...

Go ask somebody to place a footprint on, for instance, your face. Then you will know how much harm a footprint can cause.:
