Here's the places to look:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Startup folder

And C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files (where IE puts the COM objects for apps like Shockwave and the Yahoo! games. Yahoo Games = EVIL and will fuck up your browser).

Get the extraneous stuff out of those areas, and Gator is gone.

Too many of my friends that like to share Mp3 music had that coming and got their systems fragged because of it.

Also get rid of WeatherBug, which installs it, as well as most free programs.
