Warning:
There is a program mysteriously installing itself on computer systems across the country. It is called “Gator”. It claims to be a service to find you lower prices. It may be. However, it is installed in a unique way not seen before on the Internet. The FBI has been developing a new system called “Magic Lantern,” which installs itself on systems and monitors your keystrokes, sending them to the FBI. I am suspicious about “Gator” and believe it may be “Magic Lantern.” “Magic Lantern,” like “Gator” is self installing. “Gator” reminds one much of Carnivore, the older FBI system for monitoring email. Additionally, the symbol for “Gator” is much like the old “Kilroy was here” symbol of WWII. This would be in keeping with the FBI’s idea of a clever joke. If “Gator” appears on your system, remove it. However, I do not believe that removing it is enough. It warns you that other software it may have installed will not be removed. In effect, big brother is now watching you.
