Everything You've Always Wanted to Know About Gator

But were afraid to click "Yes." My friends over at PC Pitstop have put together a concise informational guide that tells you how to deal with the "drive-by downloads" committed by the company formerly known as Gator and now called Claria (the software tracks your web surfing and launches pop-up ads based on what site you're at). The site was so truthful, clear and useful that Gator sued PC Pitstop, though that lawsuit has now been resolved. The site includes the results of a user survey conducted by PC Pitstop about how aware victims, er, users of Gator are about how the software was installed on their computers; free or low-cost alternatives to Gator applications; step-by-step instructions for removing Gator; info on how to recognize Gator's software and confusing ads; a link for complaints to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission; and other Gator survival tools.
