I use a combination of Ad Aware and Spybot, that usually does the trick.

Sometimes things can only be cleared by the programs after a restart so that might be the case with this.

In spybot, you need to immunize, so that you don't get gator again.

SpyBot, AdAware, Run adaware from safe mode.

Stop stop stop STOP using IE when you get rid of it all.

get firefox


EDIT: Comedy option to drive my point home.

SP2 is supposed to eliminate a lot of these problems, 3 to note :

- ActiveX controls: the dialog will no longer popup automatically. Users must specifically click on the pageholder to install controls
- Downloadable Files: The file download ability can only be initiated by a user click.
- Popup Windows: These may now only be initiated by a user action, not automatically, and only one popup will be created

Even with Kerio, Adaware, SpyBot, and Norton AV I still got slammed with other day... And the above apps did not remove them all.

I had to go in hack my registry ONCE I found out the problem. If you are running XP type MSCONFIG at the Start / Run prompt. Click on the start up tab and review all those goodies that are loading at start up and compare them to this web site.

HTH

Hello-Try HijackThis, it works pretty good. When IEsixing it in treacherous conditions, turn off the ActiveX and JavaScript.

I didn't see Spy Sweeper listed ... works for me.

Finds alot of stuff.

AdAware and Spybot works for me, I also Use Norton 2004, but It never deletes the spyware, it always says Can't delete..... blah blah blah.
These two programs do the trick for me.
