Gator!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I stand in awe of Gator’s apparent and uncanny ability to INSTALL ITS OWN GOD DAMN SELF ONTO MY COMPUTER! What the hell, man?! I especially the way the program is not listed as Gator, so that when I go to Add/Remove programs, I didn’t see it. Sneaky little bastages named it something completely different, so I had no idea what to look for when I was trying to uninstall the bullshit that somehow installed its own damn self! Grr!

In other news, men suck, my poor widdle heart is broken, it’s too hot, I don’t have AC, still looking for a job, finals suck ass and I’m grumpy. Ouuuch, my life hurts!

GATOR SUCKS!

Um, I especially like the way. If anything else about the rant is incoherent, ignore it. I’m too damn discombobulated to make sense! :mad:

You need massage, a deep, slow, healing Shiatsu massage with scented candles and exotic massage oils to work all the kinks and psychic toxins out your system, but first I must don these rhinocerous hide gloves for my own protection as you seem inclined to bite if angered.

If I might make a suggestion . . .
Live it, love it.

Ad-Aware is great for spyware already installed, but my preference is to never let it download in the first place. If you are using IE6 (I can’t remember if it’s in the same place in IE5 or below, and I know nothing about Netscape) do this:

With the browser open go up to ‘tools’

Click on ‘Internet Options’

Click on the ‘Advanced’ tab

Look down the list to ‘Enable Install on Demand’

Uncheck both entries.

Works for me. If a program tries to install itself, it will prompt me to accept/decline first.

All righty, thanks for the advice guys. Now I only have 8,000,000 - 1 things to be disgruntled about.

Yep, very subpar Burt Reynolds movie.

That’s what I thought this rant would be about. Or some reptile in Florida, although personally I find them loveable.

Ha, no, I’m complaining about that eeeevil program and it’s ability to infiltrate my C drive. Also, why is the ‘m’ on my keyboard completely smeared off? ‘E’ is the most commonly used letter in the English language, yet it remains perfectly in tact, but the ‘m’ is gone? WHY?!

Gator sucks!

Perhaps you hit the “m” in MeanOldLady a little hard?

Holy crap, you live in LA and Palo Alto??? Your commute sucks! No wonder you’re mad.

Verily, Gator is evil.

But I’m amazed at this bit of chutzpah: NewDotNet sues Lavasoft for including them in the Ad-Aware spyware removal program. (PDF)

At least with the right tools I can get rid of Gator. NewDotNet wants to take away those tools from me (at least insofar as their software is concerned).

Heh. I divide my time between the two cities, Ethilrist. :stuck_out_tongue:

Umm, I don’t remember clicking submit. How did that happen? And who put that apostrophe in “it’s ability”? Musta been Gator. Your link scares me, Dewey. There’s too much evil on the internet.
