I agree with all the others. To fight this. First place a Firewall on your computer. Sorry, I don't agree with Zone Alarm. It is not flexible enough to know what is good for you and what is not. For a more flexible Firewall, download Sygate Personal Firewall. If you install it, you do not need to do anything to have good service. To have great service, you can customize it for your own needs and only allow whom you want in or out of your computer. Also, great to battle the Crackers.

After you do that, uninstall all software that you do not like. If it is not possible, terminate or block with the firewall. This also works great with some pesky pop-ups.

This firewall is also great with networks because you can specify ports, IP ranges, MAC addresses, and more. Like the saying goes. Kill two birds with one stone. Instead, Kill as many birds as you can with one FIREwall. We are going to have bird jerky tonight.

Don't forget to get rid of that pesky Gator.com program. It's annoying.
