    Operating system is Windows 98
    Operating trouble free. Then one day I booted the computer and on the desktop was a box which says it was looking for a shortcut for the file GMT.exe. I found the file and it opened a box on the desktop some of which said: C:\Program Files\Common Files\GMT\GMT.exe. manifest...
    It referred to Gator.Gator.Gator. Client Application
    Not sure what all of this means. Is the file necessary? What do I do to get rid of it if I don't need it? How do I get it from not showing up on my desktop when I boot my computer.
    I did do a spyware scan the other day and eliminated some files that showed Gator as they indicated it was spying on my system and to eliminate it. Should I reinstate it?

    The file is not necessary, you do not want it, believe me. Get SpyBot Search & Destroy, it will take care of it and look for others like it. If it asks to be allowed to run at next boot, allow it and reboot.
