>AJ, you are quite wrong. The Gator Corporation is a bunch of sons of bitches(they produce "parasites"). Basically, if you click "OK" on some of their banners, some nasty dll files will be added to the list of dll files started at start up. I know, I've been there. 29/F is absolutely right to avoid these nasties.
>Btw, EVERYTHING that installs stuff without your explicit permission is a virus. OK, JavaScript prohibits access to the disk or the memory, however I'm sure IE accepts other scripts that have direct access to the memory (and once you do that, you can run Interrupt calls). All C programs have direct access to RAM, and I think C script languiages have it too.

First off, please ignore the AJ impersonator that has posted underneath. On to the subject - I understand what you are saying about Gator. However, while the Gator software may indeed carry trojans that run when the software is installed, the Gator program itself is not a trojan. It also an optional download which is easily ignored.
