Trickler is an "install stub", a small program that is installed with
the application you really wanted. (Gator almost always appears on your
system due to installing OTHER software, and not the installer available
from Gator's website.) When installed, Trickler inserts a Run key in
your Registry so that it is silently and automatically loaded every time
you start your computer. Trickler runs hidden and very slowly downloads
the rest of Gator/OfferCompanion onto your system. It is suggested that
this "trickling" activity is intended to slip under the user's radar,
the steady, low usage of bandwidth going unnoticed.
