Firm formerly known as Gator looks for credibility

Death to Gator: Yeah, Gator is a pain, which no individual user wants, and too few are even aware that it has essentially trojaned it's way onto their systems and is spying on them.

The targetted ads still require that the system spys.

Gator exists only for the benefit of advertisers, and for the benefit of Gator itself. Yes, it's a parasite, and it should be exterminated.

Thank goodness for the likes of AdAware and Spybot - our refuge from these swine.; Posted by: mad.mutt Posted on: 02/14/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
