Hi guys, forgive me if most already know this, but I thought for the new people here that I would let them know that Gator, the infamous spyware everyone is warned about, has changed its name to Claria Corporation. So in the future, when you run Ad-aware or another similar program, be careful because it may not say Gator anymore, possibly making you believe something is legit when it isn't.

Like I said, most know this, but still many may not. For the ones who don't, you can get full information in an article posted by Pcpitstop.com at the website of the same name.
