Uninstall Kazaa. Go through the process to remove Gator. Then install Kazaa Lite if you need Kazaa. Tim

Have you considered Kazaa Lite? I believe it is/was free of such intrusive programs. That might solve the problem.

A popup stopper won't help you. Remove Kazaa. Run Adaware ( lavasoft.de ) to remove the Gator junk, plus a ton of other spyware you likely have had "installed for you" over time. Then install Kazaa Lite. Hollar if you're running Win9x before you do the above, as forcefully removing the spyware junk can break your network stack on Win9x.

Hi Lizzie, Here's a couple of utilities that I use and have found to be satisfactory over time: Pop-up stopper: panicware.com [The downside is that some features such as audio-video applets may get blocked. This is easily remedied. The control button sits on the taskbar adjacent to the clock (on Win98SE) and is very easy to switch on and off. After I got used to it I didn't mind the way it functioned.] *** Until recently, I was using Ad Aware software to clean up the mess with cookies and that sort of junk. Based on the recommendations of the experts at SI's Computer Learning thread, I've switched to Spybot Search & Destroy and it seems to be doing a good job. safer-networking.org No guarantees on how either will work on your system, but they are both stable and compatible here. I also run AVG anti-virus software, FWIW. For more help on techical questions, this is an excellent resource: Subject 22366
