The reason most adware/spyware programs tag it is because it is full of adware and spyware. When I got this computer new, it was one of the things I uninstalled.

If you want to play the games associated with it, such as the games that are sampled on new Compaq and HP computers, and the games on the Wild Tangent Network, you need it. If you don't want to play the games, you don't. It is not harmful to your computer in any way. It likely will be picked up as adware by your scanners, and if you delete it, any game you have been playing using the file becomes instantly unplayable. You can set the scanner to ignore it. It is not a virus, trojan, or other maicious programme.

I used to use it but it DOES contain adware so expect a lot of popups.
Most virus scanners delete it anyway.

Agree with the above poster...Spybot and numerous other spyware scanners mark it as harmful and recommend it be deleted.
