WILDTangent

After installing a spyware detector, it keeps warning me that "WILDTangent has been detected working in memory". As WILDTangent also appears on my Control Panel, is it safe to remove or will it affect the running of any other programs?

While some of the Wild Tangent technology has been classified as spyware,
legitimate portions are installed and used by some games that include
online play options. May want to delve into this a bit deeper. Suggest
reading up on Wild Tangent. Then figure out what games you have installed
that may require this. If none or you don't use this feature of game play,
uninstall it. If you do play online, you'll want to keep an eye on this to
be sure it stays restricted to the "good" parts of Wild Tangent.
