Hi Nestor, excuse me for my words, but what you write is crap. MySQL does definitely NOT include any software like Gator etc. If Gator is on your PC than a person who is using your PC has knowingly or not installed it. Gator comes very often with some "free software", but certainly not with MySQL. If there would be Gator etc. included in the e-mail than probably any of the 18.000 list subscribers would immediately ring the bell at MySQL AB. So think again, uninstall the rubbish on your PC and than you will realize hats this is not related to MySQL at all. Gator and other spyware has included mechanisms to place adds on your screens exactly referencing the topics of your interest (which they retrieve from your browsing behaviour).
