well, folks, i think Garrett meant to reply to the other topic instead of starting a new one.. it was this one about the user wanting to replace ads with his own.

yeah. gator is the devil. auto installing software even when you say no. in my DNS server, i've added entries for the gator.com and doubleclick.com domains to name a couple... whenever I see sites with ads from other servers I add those names in there too so none of these lame 15 pop-ups ads will ever load again.
