Lycos Gators Google?

Are Google searchers being lured to Lycos Search via Gator?

A couple of times today when performing a Google search (and I could be wrong, windows have a way of "popping up"), a page of Lycos Search results popped up with a Gator identification tag. Those of you who use Gator know they are becoming more aggressive with their pop-up ads. But isn't that some pretty aggressive marketing from Lycos!?!? I'm impressed. :)

Puh-leeeez don't say things to encourage the scum who think parasitic link placement and theft of traffic is an acceptable way to do business on the net.

Download and run Ad-aware [lavasoftusa.com], I believe Gator is considered spyware, which might explain the pop-ups
