I didn't install a thing

except maybe Spybot. I doubt Spybot would install Gator. I have Spybot remove it, and surf the web. Another Gator screen comes up viewing a web page and I click "No" when it asks me if I want to install it. I run Spybot again and it finds another copy of Gator on my hard drive. This also happens for other software like Alexia, etc. I always say "No" and yet Spybot finds it on my hard drive anyway.

Maybe the programmers watch too much "Spongbob Squarepants" and the "No means yes" episode? :)

I don't mean by that that it gets worse, well I do, but I don't mean it that way. Unless you thought I meant the opposite of what I meant, in which case vice versa (or verce visa if you prefer).
