Missed detecting WildTangent

[Chris Beta]

This program--WildTangent--which many blogs, forums and
anti-spyware site consider a form of spyware is not
detected by the latest beta of MSAS.

Wondering if Microsoft even considers this to be spyware.

Here are some links from both sides of the fence:

http://support.wildgames.com/WT_spyware.html <== no

out

Hi

Beacuse of this I am running 2 antispyware program.

MSAS and Adaware.

I think MS must try a little harder to be trustworthy. MS have
MSN and partners who really wants to catch us. I also
believe that
some MS managers haven´t decided yet what level MSAS should
be on.

WildTangent is actually used by AOL software for their games. I know it can
be removed but if you are an AOL user, you may find some things not working.
