Nope.

I guess Dan did not track down the offending advertiser yet since I just got slapped with the Gator download screen again.

Maybe I'm just lucky, then. 'Cause it's days ago now, that I've got it. I think I'll start to surf Apolyton with my firewall on, again. Enough with the Gator stuff.

You could do something like posting some pictures in a certain thread

I have indeed seen "your posts". I have not as of yet been able to track down the offending advertiser for reasons previously cited.

Ctrl F4 or Alt F4 will get rid of that popup so you can see the rest of your screen again.

Or you could use a pop up killer. Google has a new toolbar that kills pop ups, too. Anyone tried it?

Yup...I've had it. It is a popup that downloads Gator

At first, it did nothing on my system. After I'd had it a couple of times, I turned off my firewall. The next time I got it, it downloaded Gator.

Funny thing is suspicious ol' me decided that my machine was not in danger, unless it was from that ad, and closed it. I am kinda curious though.

Well if I understand it correctly a firewall wouldn't stop the gator ad...............though a pop-up killer would.

Spikey: My firewall (ZoneAlarm Pro) doesn't stop the popup itself. But it does prevent that pop-up from downloading and installing anything on my system. That's called "Mobile code blocking"

Even if you click 'yes'?

I have a hardware firewall, but I have seen the Gator install prompt. I thought a firewall blocked inbound connections, so wouldn't necessarily be relevant here, unless ZoneAlarm Pro has additional features.

Just got hit with the gator pop-up again.

I grabbed the source info from this very WIDE pop-up that seems to spawn just before the gator installer opens:
