JT Pilot	posted 02-16- 01:53 PM A kindly gentleman from this forum turned me on to a great little prog for detecting and deleting spyware from your computer. It's called Ad Aware. You can get it here... http://www.lavasoft.de/ IP: Logged
Gustang Pilot	posted 02-16- 02:55 PM It's not as bad as people are making it out to be. Gator stuff? Yes, it's a trojan, but it can be quickly removed through add/remove programs. When it's running, it has its own icon on the system tray. Not so sneaky after all. IP: Logged
Yardstick Pilot	posted 02-16- 03:02 PM As far as I understand this only refers to new versions of RW. However I way have misunderstood this. ------------------ Yardstick painted this IP: Logged

Not so sneaky after all. Eh? You have to do more than just remove the Gator program... http://pete.rogerwilco.com/bbs/Forum1/HTML/002901.html I think it is sneaky... and disgraceful.

Pye Pilot	posted 02-16- 03:41 PM www.pete.rogerwilco.com,,, Thats almost got the same front page as www.rogerwilco.com........wierd that!! I've got rogerwilco RW_mk1c.exe dated 27/7/00 and weighs in at 893,609kb. Check your file size,, and let us know if you got THAT GATOR MESSAGE TOO! and the file size, please (not the bytes used figure) I have also the Roger wilco Mod file. I have a well known firewall that pops up messages and I've check the log, and hasn't said any program is going to access the internet called fsg.exe or gater! on installation or returned from the hear.com site no references in control panel or registry! My guess is if this isn't a Hoax to dis Rogerwilco! then They couldn't have slipped in this bit of alleged code later, or Have taken it out again!, someone will confirm that. some of those guys on that forum are overheating , I hate spyware very much! good program still! sad story! nice workaround if you got that alledged version!

Arrowbase Pilot	posted 02-16- 05:02 PM Have a look here: http://grc.com/default.htm and "The Anatomy of File Download Spyware" and download also the OptOut utility, very useful and by the way surprising when it check your hard-disk... ------------------ Bonne chance et bon vol !

jedi Pilot	posted 02-16- 06:46 PM Versions older than about 2 months should be "clean" and still work fine. The spyware stuff can be disabled, and I believe if you email the guys at www.resounding.com they'll even tell you how to do it (although perhaps only unofficially). P.S. if you have the new version of the GoZilla download utility, it ALSO is spyware ------------------ --jedi-- [This message has been edited by jedi (edited 02-16-2001).] IP: Logged
