Once installed, the program creates the files WebSecureUninstaller.exe, WebSecureAlertCongif.ini, WebSecureAlerWebsite.URL, INSTALL.LOG, WebSecureAlert.lnk and WebSecureAlertWebsite.lnk. The process also creates the registry subkeys HKEY_ALL_USERS/Software/Gator.com/WebSecureAlert, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Uninstall/WebSecureAlert, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Gator.com/AppInfo/WebSecureAlert, HKEY_ALL_USERS/Software/Gator.com/WebSecureAlert and

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Gator.com/WebSecureAlert. Should the user wish to uninstall the WebSecureAlert program, he or she may do so using the Add/Remove Program function on the system's Control Panel.
