Don't like gator because of all the spyware/adware crap? Good, try out RoboForm ;)

You should check out Roboform. I have a feeling you can trust it (after you read how many awards it got and how many good reviews). It is the most versatile of any of them. The one from the Google Toolbar is somewhat limited. It also can give you a toolbar in IE, and is more customizeable than any of the others.

While most of the others are basic form-fillers, Roboform is a form-filler and login manager. If you are a member of many websites, or even have a member login on many Internet stores, and you forget your login information, Roboform will be a godsent.

I'm a big fan of Opera's "wand" feature. I trust that a lot more than any thing else because you can choose what you want to save. Also, you can delete stuff later on if you want to get rid of it. Plus, it's incorperated into the browser that I use on my laptop.

Well it infects your computer, and you "remembers" info you type in alot, like your name and address and your credit card. Also when you go to a web page it covers up that web pages ad's with its own "targeted" ads.

I love roboform. I'm still using the freeware version from awhile ago..the current freeware version has a limit on the number of sites... i'm very tempted to buy the pro tho.

Why would you want that? Gator?!? :o Xp has a built in control for that in IE. Of course, if you don't want that, or are paranoid of Xp, just fill in the forms yourself. It doesn't take long, and you are guaranteed no adware.
