WildTangent Removal

[drragostea]

Terminator, so isn't WildTangent like an sorta "add-on" to the specific media player? Or is it a music player like Winamp itself?

How was it annoying, lols, I just want to know? Like nag screens?

Scary. .

It was something I downloaded seprately off one those freebie Flash games sites and the irritation was the constant nagging to upgrade, to use specific settings and notifiying when new versions of games were avaliable, and like I said in my previous post, the problem was solved for me by my hard drive packing up. I'm never downloading that again.

Freebie flash games. Lols, . I remember visiting Neopets when I was younger. I kept getting those... trojans and viruses.

We... should see a response from spritcupfan. Since it's their thread after all.

I am the only one as Admin. My wife is the only other Person using the computer. I did try the suggestion and run as admin as i nThe FAQ's. I might jusrt well leave alone.. i dont know how else to get rid of.. probably not that important or are they?

you can just leave it. If it is causing your pc to not function correctly, then remove it. If it is not affecting your computers performance, or causing "weird" things to happen with the computer, don't worry about it. Usually on most Pc's it did not cause that much trouble, but on some it can get bad. If it is not affecting performance or causing any issues, i would not worry about it.
If you want it removed, try the safe mode method, or use another antispyware program to remove it. I hope that answers your question!

Well it would depend of what Anti-spyware program detects WildTangent.

Well in spiritcupfan's first post:

The user said that they wanted WildTangent to be removed from their system. Also they said that they removed all the files associated with WildTangent.

Question is what files? In XP usually, for example, the WildTangent would just standout with file size, name, and support info.

cupfan, I thought you said you removed WildTangent? What is still the problem? Spybot detects the registry keys left by WildTangent?

[sprintcupfan]

Here they r. these are the files that are in my system...

You removed WildTanget (PUP) via Control Panel >ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS window.

The results of the "leftover" files are detected by Spybot. Thing is that I don't see any harm of the leftover registry keys, as Add/Remove Programs does not fully remove everything.

Alright to get this together... you are running a Vista OS correct? There are two accounts? One for your wife and one for you?

You run as Administer correct? Is your wife's account Limited/Standard?
