News to me.
If that's the case, that it has spyware, then I'm sorry.
It just showed up in the 6th link on [link|http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=CPM%2F86&btnG=Google+Search|this] Google page.
[edit: Whoops. I think I missed the antecedant.
Yes, D&RVF is "Duck and Run Very Fast." I first saw it used by a certain Dr. Martin H. who hung out on an POSSI's OS/2 mailing list.]
Cheers,
Scott.

You Gatored you
Gator is client-side spy/morph ware. It lives on your local host and targets specific URLs for putting its own ads on. The problem is you, Ross ;-) \r\n --\r\n

Re: You Gatored you
I really don't think so. IE6 is a very nice browser - it doesn't even trust Microsoft by default. I'm very confident that my systems are not dupes.
In this case, we had exactly the same behavior when the Windows Update Client 4 wanted to install itself, as when the Gator Spyware wanted to do the same. I was impressed by that. Somewhere in the innards of Microsoft are some good, damn good programmers.
