Wild Tangent?

Can someone help me fix the following problem:
When I login to my computer the following message box shows up:
on the blue bar on top it says: "RUNDLL"
in the error message popup box it shows the red X and says:
"Error loading C:\Program Files\WildTangent\Apps\CDA\cdaEngine0400.dll"
"The specified module could not be found"

BTW, I just loaded and ran Spybot and Spyware blaster.

Thanks!

Hi CMo.

Welcome to Wilders.

I'll move this thread to the Other Security Issues forum for better attention.

If you have AOL Instant Messenger please uninstall it immediately. It is responsible for installing the WildTangent spyware on the computer. Even if you get rid of wildtangent successfully but you don't uninstall AOL instant messenger, wildtangent will still be able to get back in. The only way to get rid of wildtangent completely is to get rid of AOL instant messenger.

 

Wild Tangent is commonly installed with games. Here is a site which which u may want to read & gives removal instructions. http://www.iamnotageek.com/a/245-p1.php

 

if end up having to use RegSvr32 you could try useing the Graphical Interface to RegSvr32. although, if you havent used RegSvr32 before it would be best to post back first because making mistakes with RegSvr32 could get you in alot of trouble

i have also received the same error message on my friends computer for WILDTANGENT.....i removed all theitems from registry under RUN leaving default..after that its working fine..without any error message.

follow the steps.....
"Hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\RUN"...click on RUN ......on the right hand side window delete all the entries leaving the default.

 

I run Aluria's spyware eliminator (top pick by pc world) and I also run Sunbelts Counter Spy. 30 & 20 dollars respecfully. I belive between the two of them they eliminate almost all spyware.
