Well, I downloaded and installed Spybot, it found and removed 13 gator or other related spyware files, and "immunized" me against some 185 other "dangerous" files/downloads/windows. I then ran it a second time, and it told me I was "clean".

I then downloaded and installed ad-aware, ran it twice, and it too declared me "clean".

I opened IE, and sure as shooting, Gator still tried to take over. This is getting REALLY tiresome.

I suppose I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and reformat. Dang.

Any other ideas?

You can try a program called pest control. Its not free, but you can use it use it for free but it will be crippled. It will find all the offending files, but you must manually remove them. It finds a lot more than the free programs.
