    3. Hi all: I apologize for the diversion from genealogy discussions to computer software issues. I was doing some routine clean-up on my hard drive and decided to run a program (freeware) to detect the presence of spyware on my PC. I learned that sometime in the past couple of months a copy of Gator had been installed on my system. I won't bore you with the tech. details. If you're interested, you can read this article ... http://www.flowsoft.com/computer101/Gator_Spyware.htm You may want to download a copy of Lavasoft's Ad-aware (version 6) and run it on your PC now and again. I'm not endorsing Lavasoft's product, but it helps eliminate spyware (like Gator) from PC's. I really hate these little extras (like Gator) that come along with some freeware applications you download. Best regards H.A.
