  Pros

  There are no PROS

  Cons

  Had a problem with one of their games WE bought the only way to get ahold of these people is by e-mail. Their tech support in e-mail after e-mail kept telling me to do the same thing over and over I think they have a script and that's it, Kept telling them I had already done those things. I am fairly good with computers but could not fix the problem with their game and neither could they bad customer service.

  Summary

  I would not do business with this company again that says it all. Make sure when you buy any kind of software from a company they have some sort of support you can talk to.

• DO NOT INSTALL! SLOWS DOWN YOUR PC!!!

  matthiasm019/21/2014

  Pros

  Nothing. Useless.

  Cons

  This is probably spyware as another user has stated. It slowed down my PC considerably.I didn't even install it myself, but it came pre-installed on my HP PC.Also it changed the homepage of all my browsers to Gadgetbox Search.

  Summary

  I would strongly recommend to stay away from this very annoying crap!

• Company has been Spyware for over 10 years

  Niclo_Iste9/10/2013

  Pros

  Great way to see if your malware scanner works.

  Cons

  This whole product line is full of riskware/malware/spyware. I have never come across a PC that someone had intentionally installed this software nor have I found a computer where the user could uninstall it without special tools.

  Summary

  Total junk unless you are testing how well your malware scanner holds up. Avoid this download at all costs.

• Too much work to get rid of all parts

  MrKenDD725/8/2013

  Pros

  If you like being harassed to spend money games, then this is the program for you.

  Cons

  This program was already installed on my new laptop. When I went to uninstall it, I was forced to spend 2-3 hours finding all the links, icons, folders and registry keys to get it to remove the links from the App page on Windows 8. I read that Wildtangent support stated that it could not be done because of issues with Windows. I think that is a load of BS. If all I had to do was delete several keys from the registry then is could be done. They just did not want to because they wanted permanent advertisem*nt on your computer.

  Summary

  Any program that is code in a way that I have to spend more than 15 mins to remove is a waste of space. You have to be rather computer savvy to know haw to get the last bit of it out, so that means that there are allow of computers out there are are FORCED to see this crap all the time

• Unable to remove all traces of WildTangent

  kiwikay35/5/2013

  Pros

  None experienced.

  Cons

  This came automatically installed on my new laptop. After I uninstalled it, I checked under my Programs-Games menu. There's a list of links to web URLs at the WildTangent website to download their games. My children share this computer for school work, and I want no easy reminders of all the games out there to distract them from their studies (another computer is setup for their access to games and this one should be completely free of them). If I want to install games on a computer, I can search them out myself without this "push" from WildTangent towards their games. I would expect an uninstall to completely remove these links.

  Summary

  I'm disappointed with Toshiba for bundling this software on their computers. Software which, due to its easy accessibility for kids, makes it all-to-easy for kids to push their parents for more game time. At the very least, an uninstall should remove all traces of WildTangent.

• They Lied to Me

  o3depleter12/5/2012

  Pros

  Don't know. I uninstalled shortly after downloading.

  Cons

  Their web page said I could try a games for free. As soon as I tried tor run it, they said I was out of credits and would need to buy some.

  Summary

  Go somewhere else. These people are scam artists.

• the whole family loves it!

  riskyradical8/28/2011

  Pros

  the diversity of game play

  Cons

  A lot of the games have potions/magic/witchcraft/sorcery in them. We just are not a magic kind of family =)

  Summary

  Over all we just stay away from the "magic" ones and stick to the more family friendly play.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Aug 28, 2011<p/>we have been using Wild Tangent for almost 5 years now and our whole family LOVES IT! Double Thumbs Up!!! =)

  Pros

  Cons

  I deleted this off my computer after many attempts by another company to add Adware to my computer. Thank goodness my Zone Alarm program stopped it. I would NOT recommend this product.
