Following the recent news of the compagny behind Gator suing everyone that called their product spyware(latest PC Pitstop), they have decided to change the name of Gator entirely. The name is now Claria, so be on the lookout for this piece of nasty software.

This is probably a step to mask the software further as Gator was becoming a rather well known advertisement product, and a increasing amount of people were taking steps against it.

You'll find a nice overview of gator history and the article on Cnet Maybe you find it interesting what kind if informations Gator aka Clara is collecting, so read more.

I found the following informations in their privacy policy, which is not easy to find on their website: Some of the Web pages viewed The amount of time spent at some Web sites Response to GAIN Ads Standard web log information (excluding IP Addresses) and system settings What software is on the personal computer First name, country, city, and five digit ZIP code Non-personally identifiable information on Web pages and forms Software usage characteristics and preferences You want to know more: Gator Privacy Policy Note from Warp2Search Staff: As you can see above, Gator is collecting some "interesting informations" about you, that´s the reason, why we at Warp2Search does not allow advertisment from Gator / Clara or other companies which are collecting those datas from website users, and we ask you, if you see those ads on our website, please report immediatly in.

Thank you
