is a load of butt
seriously its crazy you cant delete it normally
if you have it which most people do because its very popular. its for really bad games and 3-d graphics
most people dont even know they have it
go 2 www.kepyr.com/spywarescanner/wildtangent/index.phtml
this will tell you how to get the "swedish" spyware you get
also most optical mouses have this for no real reason
as of right now adware,bazooka adware, spyware scanner, spybot search and destory DO NOT PICK THIS UP!
so look out its crazy
its files:
wcmdmgr.exe, gamechannel.exe, wtbgmtt.exe, wtdmmp.dll, wtdmmpi.jar, wtdmmpv.dll, wtdmmp.dll, wtdmmpi.jar, wtdmmpv.dll, wcmdmgrl.exe
the site above will show you how 2 remove it manually, add/remove programs doesnt always work such as my case.
even after uninstalling it, it leaves many files in "%WinDir%\wt\" so be aware of that.

lots of apps leave files and reg keys behind even after uninstalling.... sometimes it's file that were created after the app was installed.. like config files and stuff that were made on the fly when running the software so the installation package doesnt know to delete them because it didnt install them. Othertimes its the programmers attempt to simply leave files on your PC for reference. like if you install WT down the road again they can collect info like you had it previously. Ususally that is more with the registry than with files though
