Unwanted Notices

[Mike]

When I start up my Dell Dimension 4600, the following
notice appears:

RUNDLL

ErrorLoadingc:\ProgramFiles\WildTangent\Apps\CDA\cdaEngine
0400.dll
The specific module could not be found.

I've looked in Windows Explorer and
(c:\ProgramFiles\WildTangent.etc.) is not anywhere in the
computer.


When connected to the internet this second notice
appears:

Shell_notifyIconFail
notifyalert.exe-commonlanguageruntime
Application has generated an exception that could not be
handled.
Process id=Oxcac(3244),Thread id=oxcd4(3284).
Click to terminate application.

Clicking results in the following:
No Debugger found.
Registered debugger is not available.

An attempt to launch a Jit debugger with the following
command resulted in the followingerror code:
Ox2(2). Please check computer settings.

cordbg.exe !a Oxcac
Click on retry to have the process wait while attaching a
debugger manually.
Click on cancel to abort the JIT debug request.

Clicking on retry clears the alert.

It's easy to clear these alerts, and the computer seems
to operate normally once they are cleared.

However these alerts are annoying, and I would appreciate
anyone telling me how to keep these alerts from appearing
on the screen.

Thank you,
Mike

Mike,
Entering "WildTangent" into Google throws up a number of sites, the most
interesting appears to be
http://www.spyany.com/program/article_spw_rm_WildTangent.html.

WildTangent installs with AOL Instant Messenger, Mike, if you choose the
default (vs. custom) install.

A huge problem nowadays, sadly.
