    • @ DrSpike. Of course I always say no, but like Asmodean stated, the damned program writes to my registry - so that's what I have to continually clean out.

      • Damn! Here I go again, Gator decided to pay me another visit!

        Is it my imagination or has Gator sightings increased in the past few days?

        Well, time to clean up my registry (yet again).

        Ciao for now.

        • I think the occurence has increased. I have been less on Apolyton than usual these past few days, but I have seen more Gator in the last two days, than in the last two weeks.

          • Well I have always said no. But why is that not enough?

            I mean what will it do to your registry and what effect would that have?

            • Run adaware and find out for yourself.
              Also remember, non-IE browsers are less likely to be tricked into downloading or even offering stuff like gator to you.

              I'm on a 56k at the moment so can't check the entire thread, but I seem to recall all the gator ads being from IE browsers.
              I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

              • Just got a Gator pop-up from 'poly for the first time ever. First time I've used IE to browse here for months.

                    • I just got the gator pop-up again. It may well have been from another page I had open, but I know you are slowly bringing the ads back to try and track it down.

                      • Yep, I too got it again and I only visited Apolyton since the last time I cleaned out my registry/cookies/temp files. Time to clean it all up (yet) again.

                          • Does anyone know if this has been fixed? I had other programs in the background all the time I was doing this. I had an ad pop-up at the same time as the gator one, but when I tried to look at it it opened under my task bar where I couldnt read it. I played in the task manager and got it maximised. The screen was blank, so I looked in the source and found it is most likely responsible for the gator. I have saved the source info and the address of the ad if this info is of any use.

                              that would be good to have, but more important would be if you had the referral info of the page

                              • I dont know how I would go about getting the referral info, but would be happy to do it if you told me how.
