kindashakey Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 I noticed WildTangent Game Control in my add and remove programs, is it spyware or something I need to play games on the net? Or am I being fooled again! ha Any one heard of this???? Shakey Link to post Share on other sites
Jacee Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 I just disabled it for now. I don't know enough about how it works with the games because I haven't got that far yet! It is spyware, but better to be safe than sorry (on my end anyway). Do your own *thing* Link to post Share on other sites
kd5 Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 I downloaded Shockwave once, then immediately after, found out I needed Wild Tangent's software to play a game I thought Shockwave was for. Didn't know what Wild Tangent was, but downloaded it anyway. Immediately thereafter, I noticed it had placed itself in my Startup, and insinuated itself in places I didn't really think it needed to be, so I got rid of it. Period. If you play games created in Wild Tangent's format, you'll need Wild Tangent to play them. If not, get rid of it. -kd5- Link to post Share on other sites
kindashakey Posted February 9, 2003 Author Share Posted February 9, 2003 How can I find out what games I play may require the wild tangent control? Any suggestions? Thx! Shakey Link to post Share on other sites
HammerSlammer Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 It's mostly just goofy web based games: WildTangent If you don't play any of them just get rid of it Link to post Share on other sites
