lol I remember gator we once used it, its is a very usefull spyware application that remembers your passwords, lol and sends you pop-up ads and price comparisons when visiting shopping websites, all while spying on you.
@LordGrayStoker
CCleaner is not spyware and isn't even anti-spyware.
adaware is anti-spyware.
gator is spyware (use anti-spyware to get rid of spyware)
Gator...Gator...Hmm...doesn't seem to ring a bell. But it sounds something similar that I've had once.

Gator was a very nice password reminder I used in the 90's.
Then Claria bought them and it turned immediately into a profiler bar none.
They still shout to the hills that its NOT spyware, but it IS extremely dangerous to your privacy online.
For those of you who googled it: you probably picked up the belnk cookie.
GET RID OF IT!
It's nothing less that Gator running in the background, profiling your surfing habits, email addresses, etc.
I know this to be the truth from direct experience.
