How can you BLOCK GATOR from popping up windows on our website? Not on a client level, but on a server level, so that Gator is essentially blocked from accessing our server and popping up their parasite spam to our clients. |

Hello rooey: I'd like to help you with your problem, but I need you to realize that working together may involve a process of back and forth discussion. Instead of providing you with precise directions (which I can't, since I have no idea how your server/clients are set up), I will instead try to point you towards some existing fixes other people have used. If the first site that I find for you doesn't provide you with a solution that works for you, then you can tell me why and we can try again. How's that sound? The first site I'd like you to look at is: Get rid of Gator enterpise wide URL: http://www.experts-exchange.com/CXO/Security/Q_20442859.html Scroll down to see the suggested (and accepted) answers. The Intrusion Detection Server idea seems quite interesting. Again, please let me know whether you found this information helpful. If not, please let me know why and I'll try again. Thanks. websearcher-ga Search Strategy (on Google): gator block server | |

Just a note: Gator generates pop-ups locally on the users computers; so unless you have Gator installed on your server (is that even possible...) or the pop-ups come because of ads you have on your site, they will be almost impossible to remove. |

As was alluded in the previous comment, because Gator does everything client-side with no regard to actions you take on your web server, you can not programmatically prohibit Gator from displaying ads when users come to your site. Historically, the only option companies have had to deal with Gator is litigation. Threatened with law suits by specific web publishers in the past (WashingtonPost.com, etc.), Gator has settled with them. Unfortunately, the only solution you'll likely find to this problem is to handle it through the legal system. By most news accounts, Gator has been known to be quite hostile in response to requests to stop ads and has belligerently and persistently fought to keep their model as-is. Good luck. --Joey |
