This may sound dumb, but I have
no idea what gator is. If it is a program, I am not aware of
what it pertains to. I think gator is a spyware, but ad-aware
will not let me delete it. Thanks

Hi,

My guess is because the Gator program is running.
You can't delete anything if the program is running. If you can somehow close Gator Ad-aware should be able to fix your system.

Mollee,

This is what gator is;

http://www.gator.com/

It is very easy to download with something else, you probably got it when you downloaded something else.

Hi again,

Start your system in "Safe Mode" then run the Ad-aware program. It should be able to do it's jod then.

Gator is a form of spyware. No ifs ands or buts. It is disguised as this helpful little program but it usually piggybacks software that assists in music sharing which is notorious for spyware.

Gator is indeed spyware. Read more about it here:

If you go to your Control Panel/ Add Remove Programs, it is a good chance it will be listed there and can be removed by using the add/remove option. JD
