What is
Gator?
Gator is your smart online
companion that fills out forms and remembers passwords. Gator comes
with the OfferCompanion application, the premier application for saving
money on the web. Yet Gator and OfferCompanion are extremely polite,
staying out of sight, popping up only when they can help you.
Although
Gator isn't much of a nuisance, it does fall into a group of software
known as spyware, sending information about buying habits, etc. for
information purposes. For this reason, many people won't use it and
want to remove it. The Gator company recently changed their name to Claria.

How
to I Remove Gator?
1) Right click on the
Gator icon in the System Tray and click on Exit.
2) From the Windows
Start button select Settings and then Control Panel.
3) When the Control
Panel window opens, double-click on the Add/Remove Programs icon.
4) When the Add/Remove
Programs Properties window opens, locate Gator in the list of installed
programs. Click on it one time and then click on the Add/Remove button.
5) Follow the on screen
instructions.
Place a check in the box for "Delete User Information" if you want user
information removed from the Registry. DO NOT place a check in this box
if you want the user data retained for a new install of Gator.
This will remove the
Gator program from your computer.
Although the above
instructions will remove the Gator E-Wallet information, you may still
have GAIN (Gator Advertiser Information Network) software installed.
GAIN helps keep many popular software applications and services free in
exchange for delivering ads, information, and software based on the web
sites you view.
Unfortunately, GAIN can
only be removed by uninstalling the GAIN supported application. You
cannot uninstall GAIN directly. Once the GAIN supported application has
been uninstalled, GAIN will uninstall itself as well.
To see the GAIN
supported applications on your computer, click on the following link
and then continue down the page and click on the link to show you the
GAIN support apps on your computer.
