I feel for you, truly. Gator is one of the worst spyware components to get, I know because I endured it. Fortunately it isn't TOO bad to get rid of. Let SpyBot and Ad-Aware get rid of what they can, then, you'll probably notice a file associated with Gator that when you try to delete it, it renames itself and sits there thumbing its nose at you. In that situation, a safe mode deletion will do it usually. I also believe the Gator Corporation, which by the way, is no longer going by the name Gator (Nice attempt by them I think, lol), has instructions on their website for removing their product, which I don't put too much faith in really.

Delete everything SpyBot and AdAware find, then d/l and install either RegCrawler or RegSeeker (both have 30 day free trial) and type Gator in the search box of the program. This will bring up all registry references to Gator, and you can delete them. This is the easiest way I've found to get rid of it.
