just a reminder for people who don't know what spyware
is.wonder why your modem keeps accessing the net when you
are not doing anything? got an extra tool bar? your search
engine is something you didn't install?
also wildtangent (the web driver needed to make it work)
is spyware. see's what games you play, how long you play
them, graphics card, system, etc.
download anti spyware to see what a mess you have.
spybot safer-networking.org
ad-aware lavasoftusa.com
then update them and do a scan,. most found are cookies.
but the rest send out info on your computer.they explain in
the result.
online gamers need antivirus and firewall.
 
Good information, Bubba, but not all Wild Tangent stuff is "spyware" or a
Trojan. The Media Center Edition computers have games within the MCE itself
which legitimately run from the Wild Tangent web site. A good site to check
is www.microsoft.com/security .
