Nils, Why don't you chill dude. Go have an Ice cream or a beer.
If you look at my email again, I said "Could it be that one of these emails had it in it?" I WAS JUST ASKING. That is permited, isn't it? And on top of that Nils, let me tell you that I never said anything about downloading Mysql. Last time I ran ad-aware was about a 2 weeks ago and I did not have the gator then. I am happy tha someone mentioned the gator and I removed it. There is no need for you to star a friendship in such a rude manner. Read my email again! It is Friday night, Nils go have a beer dude.

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).
