| Delete it ASAP....not only does it steal resources but the main focus of Gator is steal information about you on your computer...its called SPYWARE , they log everywhere you click, to what they say "better advertise for you", meaning everywhere you go on the internet they can watch you. To get rid of that ! go to www.lavasoft.com and download ADAWARE <---free...and run it, get rid of all the files that show up in the test. AG might not run after that...or it might, mine still works however. I had to download AG over once..ran it again, the 2nd time it worked out. Bottom line get rid of Gator! AG is selling out to them. |

Lol d00de you told me by PM you got like 1 GB of RAM to run all your programs! I have 128 mbs of RAM.... I guess gator is burning my comp up :p I have noticed that i cant do stuff sometimes just because the computer is working with something else... I guess this is the answer... Ive had AdWare for a long time now though...its great...but since i installed the new AG sattelite i havent run it....perhaps i should :) |

OK LISTEN, you don't have to stop using AG just coz of Gator.
I, being the genius that I am, have found a solution to the problem a few days ago. I went into task manager (winxp) and found the files Gator was using. Then, I narrowed down the file location to Program Files/Common Files directory. Go into that directory, and delete folders associated with Gator. The ones I deleted were GTA and CMEII. CMEII was using the file named CMESys.exe and first you had to 'end task' on that file in order to remove it. Same goes for the files GTA was using.
Enjoy! |

Yeah it does that with me too. It asks if I want to install it with AG or not. |
