Hi,

My newest version of Spybot S&D allows Wild Tangent to avoid "fix selected problem(s)" with the following message: "some problems couldn't be fixed -- associated files still in use (in memory). This could be fixed after a restart."

The little bugger continues to appear after said restart and I'm not quite sure I understand the specifics of removal -- I'll try safe mode now, though.

thanks,

sbuxman

WildTangent is listed as a PUP (possibly unwanted program).
I've also found two relevant threads:

SUCCESS!!

One of the links posted in the Support section took me to a Wild Tangent removal tool, and it worked well -- no detection when I re-ran Search & Destroy : )
