Wild Tangent

1)Is "Wild Tangent" a threat?
Spybot found 37 instances of this when I ran it last night. It also found a number of other single instances of various items. After I used SpyBot to fix them my PC ran a lot faster.
But, Is it still lurking somewhere?

2)What is "DiscStreamHub.exe"?

3)I got an error message while reading PC game reviews on either IGN or GameSpy (sorry, can't remember which)-

ACROBAT IE Helper:
iexplore.exe - Application Error
The instruction at "0x0110cd11" referenced memory at "0x0110cd11". The memory could not be "read".

Is this an indication of malware? Or, does it have something to do with a faulty (?) .jpeg on the site?

Thanks in advance. I do believe that MajorGeeks.com is coolest invention since the electric guitar!

4)My son lives with his mother 2 hours from me. Are there safe, fun, free games we can play via internet to be together even though distance divides?

We always remove it as it is something that most people do not want and do not need and it is installed without asking permission to install.

Not really sure but it is probably something you installed related to games. I believe it is from a company named Digital Interactive Systems.

I doubt it has anything to do with malware. Sounds more like you have missing or old drivers for something. Maybe Acrobat Reader needs updating. This not an issue for the Malware Forum.

Also not a topic for this forum. It would be better to ask this in the Games forum.
