Have Wild Tangent been known to harm the user of its game console? Does it steal and use your personal information such as name, phone number, credit card number, etc. OR does it just do what it says in the User Agreement which allows it to collect no personal identifiable data such as how long a game is played, how many times a game is played, the type of video card the computer uses, etc. Let me know if Wild Tangent game console is safe to have. I really like the games.

Wild Tangent is not spyware in the sense that most people view spyware. Wild Tangent and WOL teamed up not long ago so that people could play the 3D games online from AOL.
The only information is collects is information about your system, video, drectX etc. no personal information.

WildTangent asserts that the software bundle is safe, but many antispyware programs classify it as adware/spyware, mainly because it reports activity and games played to WildTangent servers, such as number of times played, length of time played and machine specifications, such as OS version, processor speed, RAM, and DirectX version in order to more finely tune games and services to casual gamers. WildTangent is preinstalled on Toshiba, Dell, Gateway, Compaq, and HP computers.
The bundle is removed by the antispyware program Spybot - Search & Destroy, and it is in several Internet hosts files used by many people to block rogue and criminal sites.
The antispyware program CounterSpy used to say that it's OK to keep WildTangent, but it now says that the spyware Winpipe is "possibly distributed with the adware bundler WildTangent or from a threat included in that bundler.
I would not use it.. but it is up to you... there are plenty of other ways to game.
Good Luck

I don't know about you but I don't like paying for games or getting them illegally. I like quality free games. Besides that Wild Tangent is a Virus at least thats what Spybot says. You should consider switching to Linux and using it's games.
