Wild tangent bloatware - REQUIRES installation of unknown sources

ACER has put bloatware wild tangent games on my A3 - A20 tablet, and it cannot be deleted. That sucks all by itself. But what is really unacceptable is wild tangent pops up a notification that he needs your attention.  And to make this notification disappear, you must allow installation of unknown sources so that it can update itself.  ACER, I don't want this kind of things on my Tablet first.  Do not make worse it by requiring that I reduce security on my tablet in order to make the notification disappear.  Really shabby.

Finally I realized that he was trying to do, and this wild tangent has been around for a long time.  So I've allowed unknown sources, allowed wild tangent to update, and then I disabled unknown sources.

But understand that I'm not happy with that ACER has done here.

You can also disable unwanted apps list request.

settings/applications

tap the application you want to disable, select off (sometimes it will ask to uninstall updates to disable, you can press OK and then the application will be disabled)

  • Installation of application from an unknown source?

    When I try to install some application that i've copied to the SD card, get the error such as "Cannot install Application of unknown Source".

    When I google, I got a news as parameters-> Applications-> check "allow the application from an unknown source."

    But this option is available in Android 2.0 and higher. Motorola Backflip comes with android 1.5, is it possible to install applications from an unknown source? Is there any software for this?

  • Wild tangent

    where can I get the part of core of wt missing for Polar golf and polar bowler for windows 7?

    Hey seniorchief123,

    Wild Tangent is a software company specialized in online games video games.

    You get the Wild Tangent error message missing from the core component on your computer?

    If so, the error message appears when you try to play the games listed by you? Or the error is randomly launched?

    To resolve this problem, you will need to uninstall golf polar and polar bowler as these games require Wild Tangent to play.

    If you are having problems uninstalling, you can try with the Windows Installer Cleanup utility.

    Download it from:
    http://download.Microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1bd/msicuu2.exe

    1. click on start, point to programs and then click Windows Installer Clean Up.
    2. Select the program you want to remove, and then click on remove.
    3. click OK and then click on exit.
    This removes the entry from the database of the installer program. Once you completely remove the program, you can go ahead and proceed with the installation of the game.

    For more information about how to download, install and use the Windows Installer CleanUp utility, click the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301

    After you run the utility, check and see if the Control Panel icon or Wild Tangent files still remain. If this is the case, follow the rest of these steps.

    Step 1: Open the registry editor.

    1. click on start, run and type REGEDIT and press enter
    2. click on the Plus sign (+) beside the following sections

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel\Cpls

    3. in the right column, look for the line of wtControlPanel, right-click on it and delete
    4. close the Windows registry

    Step 2: Delete the WildTangent folder in Program Files and Windows

    1. go to the C drive > Program Files
    2. right click on WildTangent and select Delete (if file exists)
    3. go back to the C drive and double click on Windows
    4. right click on the WT folder and select Delete (if file exists)

  • Having trouble getting my phone to allow installing applications from 'unknown source '.

    I downloaded CompanionLink software to allow me to sync my new BackFlip with MS Outlook. The CL site told me how to change the security settings to allow this download must be installed on my phone. However, the screens on the phone are not exactly as described on the website of CompanionLink. It says I have to say on the phone to allow installation of applications from "Unknown Sources", but I can't find where to change this security setting. If anyone can help me, I would be very grateful.

    Also, if anyone has better suggestions for synchronization of Contacts, lists of tasks, calendar and Notes of MS Outlook to Backflip, I understand that too.

    Thank you!!!

  • Unable to download all the site of Wild Tangent games after a Windows Update

    I can no longer download all Wild Tangent games after the last update of Windows.  I clicked to restore to an earlier point, which worked for a few days.  Now it no longer works again.  Wild Tangent has said that it is a Windows security problem, probably a sertting of firewall.  I would like to know if there is a way to list the Wild Tangent as a site course, or how I can fix my firewall.  Thank you.

    Make sure that the download directory is not "made"read only."   Also check for security installation directory.

  • blank window appears when you try to install skydrive, wild tangent games app and more... Please help!

    Hi people! OK so I got some problems with my windows 7 dell vostro laptop 1540. I bought a PC game of Wild Tangent, but you have to install their app games before you can download & play the game.

    So I tried to install the soft games and it worked very well, quickly too, but once the window has appeared, it was just empty - completely... nothing on it whatsoever, no error code, nothing. So I've been on wild tangent support and they told me to go to the site intel and run a driver intel update utility, so I did and it came with 4 things (but he not do it automatically, it said that I needed to perform these tasks manually) this is what they have listed:
    • Graphics driver (that's all it says)
    • Intel Chipset software installation utility chipset INF
    • Audio driver for motherboard Intel
    • Wireless (wifi) - dell 1701 802.11b/g/n wireless network card (I tried to install this, but I would not let me)
    • Wired networking - RealTek PCIe GBE family controller
    I have not the first clue how to get all these because I think that some of them were arrested today (my laptop did not have these updates since January 2011) so I tried to research on how to deal with this problem, but unless I do not use the term appropriate for that, there's nothing I can find what looks like this question.
    I would really appreciate comments of a person I am pulling my hair out :(
    Please, please help: (xx

    Sorry, but if you mean that it is locked to another Apple ID, then you're going to need help from the former owner or that the device doesn't help.

  • I tried to download the new version, but my security asked me if I really wanted to download from an unknown source. If I was about to be scammed, or why firefox is not recognized by my security system?

    I received an email saying it was the reporter that I was using an outdated version, and I wanted to download the new version of firefox. I clicked on download now. I am running windows 7, if I get a backup it box. I save it. so I open run it. When I click Run, I received a message asking if I want to run something from an unknown source... then I hit Cancel.

    I don't think that Mozilla will send e-mail to its users and ask them to update to Firefox. I have never received such and I have been using Firefox from the day that it was released. Users will have to use its built-in or from its Web site update. This email is probably a scam. You must remove it immediately.

  • Pavilion laptop: Preloaded uninstall Wild Tangent games

    Polar Golfer in the preloaded games has a Trojan horse.

    After paying a professional ($140) to remove all the preloaded HP games Wild Tangent, the computer seems to be fine.  Now, Ute, Security Essentials detected another Trojan horse which is in Polar Golfer.

    None of the preloaded Wild Tangent games appear on my list of programs and are not detected by re ro uninstaller.

    However when I open the folder of the games all the preloaded games are listed by name next to identical icons with white background that don't open when I click on them.  This moves the white icon in the center of the screen.

    Some piece of Polar Golfer must be hiding somewhere.  Security Essentials prevents find the Trojan horse, quarantine it and then withdraw only to repeat the process again and again.  I keep getting an error message on Security Essentials which indicates that the file size is too large and that it cannot be saved.

    I got the following information on the internet, but do not know if it will help or what to do with it.

    The full command line to uninstall for Polar Golfer at HP (remove only) is "C:\Archivos programa\WildTangent\Apps\GameChannel\Games\97EC74F4-592F-4CA5-B9E4-EBEB2887D797\Uninstall.exe. Main executable file of the application is called golf.exe and it has a size of 752,00 KB (770048 bytes).

    Microsoft has no information on the Trojan horse: WIN32 / Dynamer! KT so apparently Security Essentials knows something Microsoft does not work.

    When I run the function delete on Security Essentials, he hangs up and does not end.  For these last two days Security Essentials has begun the process of withdrawal in itself 4 times.  Also even if Security Essentials tells me on 2 of these departures the Trojan horse has been quarantined, it does not appear in the quarantine of the history section.

    If someone can explain to me just how to solve this, I'd appreciate it.
