Last days I received some emails from ppl, that W2S has maybe a gator ad.
Some of you know that we had this discussion a few months ago and that i promised that i will remove the shit.

Now the gator seems to be back and i am speechless.
The main problem is, that I do not see the same ads than you guys because the ads are geotrageted, that means that any country (most US/ CA and Europe getting differend ads.

Maybe you can help me out be finding the url the ad comes from.
This would be very appriciated, if i would knew the url, i would know which ass i have to kick.

I can not remove all ads, I think you know why. That would cause a lost of income for paying the site.

Hope you can help me out. Also if you know a good american proxy server I could use, that would also help.

Best

OP
I know this urls, what I mean, if you load the site, you will see all files and urls which is also loading with the site on the left bottom of your browser (IE in my case)

That s what really interesitng , which url does load the gator if it is there.

Another question, is the gator also in the forums?

Gator doesn't load at my side, and as I got a very slow modem connection here @ my work, I can clearly see the loading parts on the bottom of my Internet Explorer.

Gator is a adware that is installed in clients' computers.

you can go to msconfing, in the command line and and search for things like:
GMT;
CMESys;
gain_triger

Remove all of those, and no commercials will apear on your computer.

It probably apeared after the installation of divx5.0.2pro bundle

To remove it I recommend Lavasoft AD Aware.
