    Well, HTML and JavaScript can't do this, it's gotta be ActiveX. That's why people who don't use MSIE have no problems with it.

    For those who use MSIE - try turning off ActiveX or at least set warning.

      Yeah, Gator always comes via the ActiveX applet. That can also be seen in the screenshot someone posted here, in which it asks to be executed.

      I almost never use MSIE as it's so prone to spyware and other malicious activity. Most rants here would have been solved by using a different browser.

        If you ask Microsoft, they would say that ActiveX enhances your browsing experience

            No need to rant, Asmodean. Just use a better browser and stop whining. Actually you never need MSIE, if you're "browser aware."

                    I know. I actually have mozilla on my pc. As an installable .exe. I just never got around to installing it

                      Make sure you have a recent version or a nightly build.

                          Dammit. Do I have to explain what a nightly build is? Okay, well, it's a nightly build generated for several platforms out of the current CVS contents.

                            You could always try Firebird. It seems quite stable now.
