adware.gator

How can I get rid of adware.gator?

I installed Divx Pro 5.1.1 adware and was "infected" by adware.gator.
Although GAIN - editor of Gator - says that uninstalling the contaminator
(in my case Divx Pro) will unistall adware.gator , the file "fsg-4104.exe"
remains on my HDD and is impossible to erase. Norton AV detects it but
doesn't offer a solution

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

I have used Adware and Spybot both initially find and destroy Gator but the
fsg_4104.exe remains

Help!

Try Spybot

But it will stop the codec from working.

Try terminating the process with the task scheduler first, or
deleting it in safe mode.

what you wre talking about......grin. Hey, we all get tired, silly and
cranky at times....not that you were anything but tired!!

Thanks guys - deleting in safe mode did it!

Spybot and Adaware detect it but don't delete it!

Thanks again
