Advantages: fills in fields

Disadvantages: inflexible and dangerous with IE 5.5

It sounded good on the adverts and a few friends have recommended it to me and It at first seemed really useful to have a programme that remembered all those awful passwords and you could enter them at a flick of the mouse. so I was encouraged as I downloaded this piece of software.
In practice though it is no where as useful as I had been lead to beleive, It is clumsy and gets in the way of all sites that require form filling in and if the site has an different sequence of fields that have to be filled in you spend the time refilling in the gator master templates.So in this semse it is no time saver.
More importantly though the software caused conflicts in my system that lead to a fatal crash and took two days to sort out.
My advice therefore is don't. Don't be sucked in by the advertising and definately don't download it.
Windows has a perfectly useful and far more flexible password system in internet explorer, why ruin that for a system that is far worse.
This is not recommended at all and I would go so far as to say uninstall it now if you want to save yourself having future problems.
