'Gator' becomes 'Claria'
Gator, the controversial advertising software and e-wallet company, has decided to rename themselves, to Claria. The move comes after the company tried to sue everyone who had the morality to call their product spyware.
In other news though, Short-Media brings to you word of a newly labelled nasty piece of software you should definately be on the look out for. Claria is its name, and we strongly recommend you don't let it get anywhere near your system.

-Standard web log information (excluding IP Addresses) and system settings
-What software is on the personal computer
-First name, country, city, and five digit ZIP code
