Between Ad-ware and SpyBot Search & Destroy, they cleaned my system,. Now I do not have Gator or Memory Meter popping up.
Memory Meter as well as ClockSynch was the two worst ones that would continuous be installed and run each time. Was driving me nuts. Thanks to all for the input. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/30/03 04:21PM >>> I will look at it :) I will also uninstall Eudora since I dont use it any more, just been procrastinating on dealing withthe inbox in it... I can't remember if I have done a registy search for specific pop but I think this is more insidious than that -- there are no registry keys labelled Gator but that keeps coming back too. The ones Ad-Aware detects are don't have user friendly labels. Stuff deep in the guts of ClassID. Dlls in the Windows system folder with windows-sounding names. I am not really pulling my hair out over this as I don't like IE anyway and only use it when Opera won't work, which does happen with sites with a lot of scripting and/or redirects. I mainly would liek to know what it is though as I view stealth downloads to my computer wuth deep disfavor.
