MysteryWare - WCMDMGR.EXE

This file runs on system startup and checks for updates to the multimedia "Web Driver" from Wild Tangent. This is probably only required if you actually play online games which use the Wild Tangent driver.

Their web site says...
"The WildTangent Web Driver is an advanced platform for the development and distribution of retail quality, versatile game content for the Internet. It utilizes the powerful multimedia hardware features that ship with every computer sold today, but until now, have been inaccessible to Web developers."

We recommend finding the WildTangent icon in the control panel and disabling the auto update feature. Most of the Anti-Spyware vendors have labeled WildTangent as Spyware or Adware.
You should read the WildTangent Privacy Statement and you'll see what information they gather and share with others.

If you're wondering where it came from it may have been included with a recent update of AIM. When installing new versions of AIM this component is included to support multiplayer games. If you're not going to use AIM to play games we recommend removing it.
