So I log onto the school computer and go to TW and I get this popup ad:

It's a computer with nazi security settings (right click is disabled in explorer) so I don't think it's spyware.

I just clicked the ? in the corner and it says that
"You received a GAIN ad because a user of this computer agreed to install a program supported by the Gator Advertising and Information Network (GAIN)."
GOD DAMNIT
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GET A FUCKING ADMIN TO GET IT OFF
 
Jesus Christ, how many years will it take before you recognize spyware? And if it could be installed without an admin, I'm sure it can be uninstalled without an admin.

I didn't recongize it because I haven't seen it before. I make a point of not installing spyware on computers.

Back in "the day" we used 300 baud Hayes modems with accoustic couplers.

To remove Gator click the 'Start' menu, then select 'Control Panel' and open the 'Add/Remove Programs' utility. Find 'Gator' in the list of programs, click 'Change/Remove' and follow the prompts to uninstall Gator. Then follow the same procedure to remove Offer Companion.

I don't have access to the control panel. Or the C drive. Or anything
