Microsoft antispyware ignoring gator - Gwarsbane - 07-08-2005
For those that don't know, Gator is spyware. It has been spyware since it came out around the same time napster was first made and it will be spyware even after Microsoft antispyware software starts ignoring it and leaving it on your system.

I'm sure "best interest" was just a typo.
They meant to say "money".
