kill Gator installed with divx5

[markpilkinton]

How can I get Gator spyware off my system? When clicking uninstall it says to go through add/remove programs, but the file "GAIN" it states to remove is not listed in XP under add/remove.

go to www.download.com and look for a program called ad aware. it removes all sorts of adware/spyware programs.

For future reference, no install any thing called GAIN, GATOR
BONZI BUDDY, etc, these little addons infect ur system,and
you can NEVER really get rid of them, u can run adaware all
you like, they still come back......try system restore NOW, while
you can, if your install was recent, if not well what can one do anyway
its free right?why you think it is? they bomb you to death...

I used Ad-Aware, but after Ad-Aware cleans registry and some files you still need to delete rest of the files manualy. Result ? I was not able to use DixX anymore because it was complaining that "spyware" was missing and since its "free" that is your "price".

Well, some of us would never install spyware in the first place (they DID tell you it would be installed). Since there is another free version with no spyware you have two choices: the lite free version or pay $30 for the full version. If you're only decoding there's no reason to bother with the spyware version or the pay version (as the pro features are only used for encoding, and I don't know if they're really that important).

You might try to kill it in the start ups menu.
