Date Manager

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Date Manager is part of the GAIN system. The Gator Advertising Information Network. It is generally installed with Gator, although it can be installed as a separate application. It installs itself as a drive-by application loading simply by clicking OK on a pop-up ad that appears on your screen. Date Manager displays today's date in the system tray, provides one click access to a calendar, and allows you to quickly set reminder alerts. However, it does this at a price by serving pop-up ads to you courtesy of the GAIN network.

 

There are many freeware calendar programs that do the same thing as Date Manager, for a list and descriptions of these programs, http://www.all4you.dk/FreewareWorld/links.php?cat=013

 

How to Remove Date Manager

From the Windows Start button select Settings and then Control Panel.
When the Control Panel window opens, double-click on the Add/Remove Programs icon.
When the Add/Remove Programs Properties window opens, locate Date Manager in the list of installed programs.
Click on it one time and then click on the Add/Remove button.
Follow the on screen instructions.

 

Although the above instructions will remove Date Manager, you may still have GAIN (Gator Advertiser Information Network) software installed. GAIN helps keep many popular software applications and services free in exchange for delivering ads, information, and software based on the web sites you view.
