Ach, this really needs to be sorted out. We must protect people like Diss from accidents.

If you download gator then simply uninstall it through the find/remove programs then use system restore to restore your system files to when you shut down yesterday. It worked for me.

When you uninstall gator, it will install the Price Buddy, or at least it used to. Make sure after you uninstall it that you recheck Add/Remove for other spyware. Also, make sure you eliminate all settings at uninstall to ensure all your passwords are removed from its cache. After all this, run Adaware.

Got it again...
Got the webpdp.gator thing again just now.
I've been watching for popups whenever linking within Poly, and noted the following page headers in the popup (which disappeared down to the taskbar once they had run)
about:blank -- presumably the name of the ad supplier and probably legit.
Then that went away, replaced on the header line by one that briefly read...
z1.adserver...(and more I couldn't catch before it disappeared) -- I suspect this is the guy who's letting gator hitch a ride onto Poly via legit ads.
Since I'm on a corporate system using mandated IE, I get gatored at least once daily.
Fellow observers -- Instead of clicking off popups as they occur, go ahead, let them fully load. Note the page header description. Legit popup ads will stay and can be clicked off without problem. The gator guys cycle through a sequence prior to dropping onto your taskbar that (I think* ) needs to be observed and documented in order for Dan and Mark to ID the problem.
(* or not...)

Got it again, and I concur with Jrabbit - z1.adserver is definately associated with the Gator program.

Got this pop up just before gator showed up...
btw, I never get gator unless i am on poly. Other sites do not matter a bit. With them or without them, I get gator only when changing views on Poly.

I just had something a bit odd happening. Normally after I close the gator pop-up, a couple of other ads appear. Not this time. I got gator pop-up, cancelled it and nothing more poped up.
There was the webpdp.gator links in my history and this link, although I have not seen the pop-up that comes with this (I might have just cancelled it but I dont remember)

Did anybody listen to me?
Are you having problems with regular styles or special styles? If you don't have a problem with regular styles, it has to be one of the popup ads.

I can confirm a gator pop on Apolyton. Closed it without trying to locate the offender, but it definitely happened.

I got the same header with a different "hid=" code...
media.popuptraffic.com/scripts/popup.php?hid=f60b5714961b9385ba898tmpl=rydium.tm. ..
I assume the trailing number string is quasi-random...

No, I didn't read the whole thread. Sorry.
I am using default-special.

Got a pop-up blocker and am prompting for cookies.
Had to do it because this stuff has gotten to the point of obnoxious. How many times do I really need to see that same Britaney Speers pop-up?

Ok, the above link is a snapshot of my Temporary Internet Files (Cookies) directory. I've been keeping it cleaned out waiting for Gator to strike again...and it didn't let me down.
As shown on this snapshot, at 10/1/2003 8:18PM Gator was logged (Cookie:Troy@gator.com) at the same moment 10/1/2003 8:18PM z1.adserver (Cookie:Troy@z1.adserver.net) was also logged.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that z1.adserver is the advertiser responsible for gator terrorizing Apolyton of late.
Dan, if this isn't enough information, then quite frankly I believe that you do not want to end your dealings with z1.adserver - for what ever reason.
This may sound rather harsh, but z1.adserver has been reported in the past as a possible culprit, but for some reason has been ignored or was responded to as not having enough information to accuse z1.adserver. Well, here's the smoking gun.

Wittlich: Why don't you either start using Opera or download the google bar that blocks ads - at least until this gator problem is fixed. If that isn't possible, follow UR's advice and change your style to not show popups.

"z1.adserver.net" is just the name of a computer at adserver.net, which might not be a company that directly deals with ACS.

This might be so, but Dan could still block z1.adserver's access to Apolyton.

I don't know if he has the right to block a server. It's like just taking away an ad banner...

Well, it's his site. IMO, he has every right to block offending servers.
