I recently discovered and File called WildTangent sitting in my Control Panel. I knew it did not belong there. I used Ad-Aware and searched my system. It did not pick it up. I just got done downloading SpyHunter and used it. It recognized WildTangent as a Severe threat to my system. I went into the Control Panel and then into Add/Remove Hardware and went ahead and deleted/removed both the WildTangent files. Then I removed the files from my trash can. Then I did another round of Spyware. It found both WildTangent files again. I went back into the Add/Remove Hardware and it was not there. So I did a Search of my computer and the files were found. So I deleted them by right clicking and hitting delete. Again removed them from my trash and the did a third round of Spyware. It found them again. They are still there. I did another plain search and it could not find them anymore. Now I am only able to find them on SpyWare. I did not pay for the full version of Spyware. I just downloaded the free v
ersion so I can not delete through Spyware. Can you explain why I am now only able to detect the virus with spyware now and cannot get to them or detect them any other way? How can I get rid of this probem?
