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,
