Spybot Search and Destroy should solve the problem.

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?
