Description: Claria's GAIN network consists of several applications inlcuding Gator eWallet, GotSmiley, ScreenSeenes, WebSecureAlert, DashBar, Weatherscope, Date Manager and Precision Time. All of the Claria/GAIN applications contain common elements, files and registry keys, that are collectively known as GAIN adware. Each application is also identified by its unique files and registry entries. GAIN delivers advertisements in the form of pop ups, pop unders, pop up sliders and embedded ads. The privacy policy(http://www.gator.com/help/app_ps_v70.html) applies to all the CLARIA/GAIN products and states no personally identifying information is gathered or transmitted. Non personally identifying information is randomly collected and used to create a user profile of what products they may be interested in. The software can be removed from Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel. The End User License Agreement (EULA) states that removal by any other method is prohibited.
