Yay!See subject...
BTW, the original article claims they changed the name to "JellyCloud" (not Jellyfish). | |

said by Anonymous_:5 new and MUCH worse ones will already replace it Fixed it for you... Anyone remember when Gator first came out? 1999. Damn. said by »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cl ··· poration :Originally released in 1999, Gator was most frequently installed together with programs being offered free of charge, such as Go!Zilla, or Kazaa.[citation needed] The development of these programs is partially funded by revenue from advertising displayed by Gator.[citation needed] As of mid-2003 Gator was installed on an estimated 35 million PCs.[2] It has been installed through misleading or surreptitious means in the past, usually without disclosing that it will be monitoring web browsing habits and displaying ads based on profiling of the user.[citation needed] | |

Re: 5 new ones will replace itI really thought Go!Zilla was the poop when I first found it. It was poop, alright. | |

I'd trade.. I'd trade Gator today for some of the nasty crap that has come along since then.. At least Gator was relatively easy to remove.. The stuff that has come out since then (i.e. XP Antivirus 2008, Spyware Sheriff, all variants of Virtumondo) has in some cases been nightmares to get rid of.

I know Spybot really considers those ones you mention as baddies, but, unbelievably, I still have yet to find a computer that has those ones on it. But, yeah, good riddance to this particular niusance!! | |

Next to go down: ZangoOne could only hope. This company is nearly as sleazy with its practices as Gator/Claria once was, and like them, they changed their name in a failed effort to improve their image. They were once called 180 Solutions. | |

I got a good laugh out of this one . speaking of annoyances, I remember way back around 1995 when I kept on getting a spam newsletter that constantly bombarded my email account, and back in the days of dial up, it was a biatch to download over and over again.... Wish I could remember what that annoyance was.. | |

Boy was that thing annoying as hell, and quite difficult to completely remove as well. And of course once you installed it, it would nag you incessantly about purchasing add-ons. | |

Claria who?You mean they were still around??? I remember when Gator first hit the PC scene. Some of the younger people in the office actually installed it on their work PC's, acting like it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. I knew it couldn't be a good thing, so I researched exactly what this company did. I then knew I wanted no part of it. My wife's cousin installed the "Banzai Buddy" on her PC and thought it was hilarious. Once again, I had suspicions, and when I found out, not for me! | |

What i'd like to knowWhere do these jerks pushing malware find such damn good hosting?
If I download media from Microsoft, Apple, Google etc., I am LUCKY if I can get 130KB a sec.
But this morning I started was creating virtual machines to infect, and those damn malware sites were able to saturate a 20megabit pipe with their downloads. | |

why is a subject needed?Didn't the company make a product.. that helped you remember your credit card/billing info and other stuff you copy and pasted.. at the time I didn't understand the attraction..
As today (as in then) I keep all that stuff in a file.. and copy and paste it myself.. the only thing this application did was store your data and save you from opening said file, highlighting and clicking copy... | |
