> When I get geeky, I know that evil exists. One manifestation is Kazaa, the music download site. My kids' computer gets so full of malware that it actually bogs down to nothing. It won't even load the desktop, sometimes. I can't tell you how many times I've taken Gain.gator off of it, and how many corrupted files I find. Hundreds. I'm going to have to put Netnanny or something on that machine, before it dies from the malware burden.

>Larry, when I run my SpyBot software on the bottom I can read the files that it is scanning for bad stuff. I see gain.Gator files, but it skips right over them. If Gator is adware or malware or spyware or badware or something evil, why doesn't SpyBot or Adaware remove it? Should I do a search for all Gator files and remove them myself? Thanks,
