Reply: (edit)Yes, I would get rid of them. Wild Tangent is supposed to be some kind of super graphics software for on-line games. As I have never played any on-line games I don't know how it got onto my computer. It installed itself without any intervention from me. Must have sneaked in when I disabled by firewall for just two minutes. However, Ad-Ware soon got rid of it. The mere fact that Ad-Ware didn't like was good enough reason for me to get rid of it.

Reply: (edit)Hi marshall; My Adaware update also found that Wild Tangent junk....52 entries, I think it was. I deleted everything that it found......no problems with the deletion. You also might want to run a search on all files and folders for "Wild Tangent", as I found a couple entries there too. Good luck! ~Tommyo

Reply: (edit)Hi peeps, mine came bundled when I bought my Dell, months ago - I never wanted it so I thought I deleted all of it months ago. But, it seems the recent Adaware update found left-over entries; so I deleted it all. In my case, it was various games that I didn't want, but Dell threw it on my 'puter when I bought it. Take care, all! ~Tommyo

Reply: (edit)I disagree with gilhoulisreef (sorry), but wildtangent doesn't have anything to do with your graphics. I "inadvertantly installed" WT with some Winamp visualizations & games. After I got rid of it... those visualizations and games didn't work, but I can most definitely play any other 3D games. get rid of it....
