One other thing, ***, in addition to the many valuable suggestions
that have been posted here: Since you know that Gator is a villain,
at least in this case, you might get a configurable firewall such as
Kerio and block access from your computer to all known Gator sites.
This may prevent you from accidentally accessing them again, and it
will also prevent their spyware from "phoning home" should you ever
inadvertantly get any on your system again.
