View Full Version : getting rid of GATOR

December 6th 03, 01:44 PM
I've been using gator for close to 3 years now. i only
use it for logins/passwords, and i was able to tweak it
and get rid of the ads in previous versions but the new
one detects the foulplay and makes you reinstall. I
would really like to get rid of it, but have SO MANY
passwords for random sites in there that I have no idea
what they are. I tried exporting my info, and reading
the gat file in notepad but it's obviously encrypted.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to get this info from
gator before I chuck it?
Thanks,
Richard

Good recommendation, but what about recovering the user data?

Very easy to transfer data from Gator to Roboform at
http://www.roboform.com/ It will also tell you how to rid your system of
Gator after the transfer. It's free and IT WORKS!
