Re: Wildtangent

I think #2 is the biggest issue here. AIM should have included it as an option in the installer. ("Do you want the ability to play cool games in AOL Instant Messenger? If so, click yes to install WildTangent.") Instead, it gets installed silently with no option to the user. Sure, you can remove it from your PC, but it's much better to be able to keep it off in the first place.
