It had to have been AdAware that picked it up because it was before Spybot existed and I think the only application I had that found adware/spyware back then was AdAware. I don't recall what was flagged...I don't think it was Gator but I don't remember.

Have used webshots as wallpaper for quite a few years but haven't dl'ed any photos in a long while and not a premium account. Have never had any problems with it and has never been picked up as spyware as Mele20 alleges (and that's with NIS2003, AdawareSEPlus, Spybot S&D, SpywareBlaster, TrojanHunter, et al...) YMMV]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11771436 Thu, 04 Nov 2004 01:06:51 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11770315 sashwa : Okay...I'll go see if I can download it...I'll be back.

Okay I tried but it's a Premium picture and I don't have a Premium membership. Maybe there's someone around here with a premium acct who uses Spybot could try the picture for you.

Sorry,

So I just went there and downloaded a wallpaper and had no problem with SpyBot. I ran it after the download to make sure there was nothing there. Maybe she picked Gator from someplace else?

What picture was she trying to download?

The first possible association may be this spybot warning associated with Gator.

When she tries to load a picture from the website she gets a warning from Spybot that gator is trying to load. When she tells spybot to go ahead and block gator she gets bumped off the site. Has there be a collusion of the two or would that be a false positive?
