I have used the AlgoLab Raster To Vector Toolkit to convert TIFF images to Adobe Illustrator files. At that point I can clean them up in Illustrator and save them as SVG files. The process should work for GIF images as well.

You can also import a GIF into a vector drawing program like CorelDRAW or Illustrator and hand-trace, but that takes time. Another possible (but expensive $3K++) solution is to use the high-end vectorization feature of ScanVec Flexisign. I've seen it do remarkable tracing of a low-quality scan. It is very expensive though. I suspect, if it's a GIF, that it's a low-res (72 ppi) screen image, so the prospect of getting a decent vector file out of that is pretty slim. HTH...
