OK, I used Ad Aware a while ago and it found something called WildTangent, but it wasn't able to get rid of it. So I went on a search and destroy mission to rid myself of any file with the words "WildTangent" in it and as far as I can tell, I killed the damn thing. But I still get the message below whenever I log in, so obviously there's a remnant in my computer somewhere. My question is how do I track down the file that's trying to load this dll? I presume that if I can get rid of that file I can rid myself of this message.

cant you just run MSCONFIG and uncheck the box with WildTangent in it, so it stops trying to load it.

AIM uses WildTangent, I think...

No one on this earth should be using anything related to that god awful company, so if you are using AIM, this is what you should expect.

My wife has used AIM since I killed it, so it must not completely depend on it, at least for general chat functions. But yeah, in my looking around on the net I saw a few references to AIM.
