My money is on that the person who is getting "this gator crap" has a a peice of spyware installed on their machine (gator and/or savenow.exe). This is an app that launches addware based on your surfing habits. I believe they are the same people who were serving up the infamous X10 Camera adds.
My suggestion, check your applications list and look for the following: savenow.exe gator*.exe weather.exe -----Original Message----- From: Taylor Lewick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 11, 2003 8:34 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: What's up with this GATOR crap? Yes and think before you type, "I may have to consider using another database." That shows real maturity. First of all if you are really that important of a customer and have the ability to influence your organizations database useage decisions, and if this really angered you off that bad, then you would contact MySQL directly, and voice your concerns with them. Second, if you are just a small site, or a one guy shop, or something like that, then you threatening to end the use of thier product is really going ot have them reeling. Finally, no one on the lists cares. Next time try this. Hey all, I have noticed everytime I point my browser at a mysql site I get gaterware popups and stuff. Has anyone else noticed this? Is it something intentional done by MySQL or just a site the software likes. Anyone know of a good way to remove this software. Its just really annoying.
