The suit by major web publishers against "scumware" provider Gator Corporation is progressing, and a federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order against the firm. But while they'll have to stop displaying ads on the websites of the suit's plaintiffs, it's still business as usual on the rest of the web.

Ugh! I hate Gator... :smash:

Recently, everytime a Gator ad sparks up, a couple of programs get downloaded onto my computer. - Without my approval!
