    My vote goes for Gator and AOL.
    Seems we've left out Time manager and Date Manager.
    I have no use for these little utilities
    If I had a hammer...

    HOTBAR!

    I really hate this prog, someone at work started using it on e-mails and soon it was spreading like a virus. I had to go to group policy to block it.

    Users used it to download themes and utterly bog thier machines down to unuseable status.

    Nothing like going to a computer to "fix" it and have to ask "OK which ER Doctor is the My computer icon".

    This is doubly hilarious cause just had to deal with a comp with a nausea inducing theme fully set up. Full on Barney icons, sounds, color scheme, and wall paper. Never before have I considered tripling my bill on the spot more than with that pc.

    You do all know that most of this crap, gator, webhancer, etc etc, can be ripped out of your computer and the damage undone by running a little program called ad aware from www.lavasoft.de

    Actually adaware and its reference files are dated. Spybot is much more current.

    hmmmmmm

    must....think......hard.......GATOR F'n SUCKS.....it seems that every webpage you go to now wants you to install gator!!!! Yet most users don't know what gator is and they install it thinking it will help their multitasking/internet performance! ARGGGGGGHHHHHHH..........Gator USED to be a decent program that sped up your downloads if you were on dial-up. now it is nothing but a waste of electricity to keep it in RAM(since it seems to be running 24/7)
