never trust certificates, e.g. gator

[Jan Wagner]

Hi,

on a lot of pages IE will prompt to install gator or cometcursor and
whatnot, and asks for confirmation together with an option to "always trust
this certificate". Now is there any option anywhere to never trust these
certificates? It's just slightly annoying to always click on the No, and IE
can't remember this the next time...

thanks,

Install a HOSTS file that stops requests from going to their sites.

Get Spybot and innoculate your browser against gator, comet, and a lot
of other spyware activex controls.
