The most recent version of AudioGalaxy that I installed allows you
to choose not to install the Gator spyware. I recommend that option. ;-)
I also second Wrath's recommendation of using Ad-Aware (www.lavasoft.com)
to remove any spyware from your system. It works nicely and is very easy
and fast to use. It removes many different types of spyware and is a good
way to check your system for any that you might have accidentally installed.
I use AudioGalaxy and it works well for mp3s.
