I use Gator and must say I am pretty dependant on it. But I have just run a memory test and it uses more memory than any other program currently running on my pc. So to free up some space I would like to find a trustworthy, spam free alternative.

The Opera browser has a feature they call the "Wand" which performs all the form fill-in functions. Plus, it's one heck of a default browser.

I used it on my old machine. Worked great. The big negative is that it works with IE which always means your machine is vulnerable - just because it's IE.

The Mozilla form filler is very good too.

I wouldn't trust Gator with anything even remotely sensitive. They are listed as scumware at both Adaware and Spybot, and run intrusive downloads that are by nature compromising. Do a site search for more opinions on Gator. And yes, the new Google toolbar includes an option for auto form filling; it works well. I believe MS Passport (already installed if you use IE/Windows) does this also.
