Gator et autres espions [en]

Gator, ça vous dit quelque chose? Non? Et Gozilla ou bien AudioGalaxy, alors? Aha.

Si vous connaissez les deux derniers, vous avez probablement sans le savoir installé le premier sur votre ordinateur. Un vilain petit espion qui se charge de vous assommer de publicités, entre autres.

Un article de ZDNet sur le “Spyware” vous en apprendra plus. Et je vous encourage à  télécharger AD-Aware pour nettoyer votre machine! (Oui, j’ai pu supprimer près de 80 fichiers et répertoires de la mienne, dont en tous cas cinq ou six versions de Gator.)

  1. I won’t attempt to reply in french as my written french is currently not
    what it should be. This is somewhat of a mute point since the AG is
    pretty much gone, but the satellite installer does warn of the
    installation of spyware.

  2. yep, unfortunately true, and quite possibly some of the most annoying
    software ever.
