if anyone is wondering, Claria Corp is Gator under a new name.

Gator already lost a (many?) lawsuits for this exact same practice (I believe it was triggering competitive ads on the newyork times' website).

Claria Corp aka Gator are huge - some 35-45 million installations world wide... I have seen lists where they break it down by country - some countries have a large % of the computers online "infected" with Claria Corp ware.

A friend asked me to take a look at his PC because it was running slow as hell, low and behold he's got more spy/adware than I could believe.

The real nasty one's where by:
Gator
Claria
n-Case
180Solutions

Those hijacking bastards should be shot with shit if you ask me.

Here's my idea...

come up with a white knight download that quite simply disables gator. use whatever microsoft force download hole of the week is, and force it on every porn surfer each of us sees.

I bet ya we can make a dent in the Gator business model pretty quickly.

Perhaps just a modified hosts that blocks out gator's servers?

Not that I would consider doing this for real or anything... :awinky:

I know spyware has taken my computer hostage this week.
I even have spybot and Spyware Blaster on my machine and immunized..and the shit still gets on.

I wondered why it was doing all kinds of fucked up things lately.

Drtav, it was good but NOT briliant..
the brilliant is toi kill gator/hooper and replace it with your own shit..
THAT would be briliant and Nick is probably working on it as we speak

Actually Ive been having the "boys" work on a toolbar for me...

It removes Hoopers and sends him a message that sez....

"Too bad poster boy....Gonzo just removed your shit from another machine.
Whine,complain, accept it....youve been OWNED!"

There is a point where your shit won't stink any better than his... there is a line.

Getting rid of his shit is " k3w| " after that you are just going down the same shitty road he went.

it's a good idea. Nick will love it. :-)

Alex,
you are not living in the real world.
(I know, you are Canadien and therefore not much versed in USA history)

FYI,
George Washington was:
TRAITOR worth of execution on sight
USA Father of the Nation, MOST important man in USA history.

2 questions:
1) how many George Washingtons were out there?
(with descriptions like that they can't be the same person, right?)

2) do you see how OUR shit doesn't smell while theirs smells a lot??????


always drink from the river called FACTS and follow the historical perspectives
;-)))
