Firewall attacks

Fire wall attacks

I am being constantly attacked several times a day by Gator Corporation.My Norton Firewall stops it,but I am concerned that one day it could get through.
Before I had the Firewall I found Gator had installed it's program on my C drive and I am having trouble getting rid of it.
Does any one know what it is and how do i get rid of it.?

Its sounds like it could be a parasite. Riddle gave me this link that helped me get rid of a similar parasite on my hard drive and I don't get anymore of those annoying pop-ups.

Doxdesk is the main website but the gator link is here:

Go to www.pchell.com/support/gator.shtml

Instructions for removal. Gator is for remembering passwords and auto form filling

Alternatively, use AdAware or Spybot Search and Destroy to remove this software and no doubt other spyware on your machine. Both are Freeware:

Spybot has very bad reviews on CNet. Suggest anyone thinking of downloading it check the reviews at:

I have to say I find Spybot to be a truly excellent product and it does not leave anything behind that you do not want on your pc. You do have to be a little careful what you remove with it though, so I am not sure I would recommend it to true novices. But at least you can undo anything it removes if you subsequently find you really needed it after all.
