I was forced to download frogger to get some info on a page I needed. When it started installing I got a warning that there was a virus in it. I removed the bulk and reran anti-virus software. It came up with nothing. Then when I started my computer the next day there was a major virus risk in the system part of the computer. I tracked down the file and again it was a gamevance file.
I wrote them and told them of this but received no response. I will not download any games or the like from a third source as I do not trust anyone now.

Gamevance is “adware” software, supported by ads. It is unlikely that it will download viruses and trojans, however noone guarantees which ads it will show.

Once you download gamevance it turns off your computer so it can send viruses right admin?

Trever is correct as well, but i had an issue where mine would not delete because it was still running. the program is running at all times in the background so it dont delete. So what you do is shut down your computer then start it up as it is starting either his esc or f8 one of the two should bring u to a black screen and you want to start in safe mode. While it starts in safe mode it will load pretty quickly. So then in safe mode, go to my computer; local c (drive); progam files(x86), or whatever it located in, then find the gamevance folder hit shift+delete, and this should remove it as well as not putting it in recycle bin. I hope this helped more!

Well, I just found out a way to lose gamevance32 and its contents, even though it doesn’t delete gamevancelib32.dll, it doesn’t need to do, gamevancelib32.dll hasn’t done anything bad yet to my computer. But these are the easy steps. If it doesn’t work, then that will be strange, because it just worked.

1. In the program files folders, locate Gamevance, then enter it and copy the contents to your documents folder.
2. Open up task manager and go to processes, then locate “gamevance32.exe” DELETE THE PROCESS.
3. Then go to documents folder, and delete them all. Once deleted, go to recycle bin and empty it.
4.Then go back to program files, and delete all files, it will leave gamevancelib32.dll there, but will delete the other files. And there you go, 4 easy steps to do this. If you don’t want the gamevancelib32.dll still, then follow the steps provided by other users. Trust me this works.

Gamevance uninstalls normaly using control panel add/remove function… but i see some of you still have some problems, that could be solved easily. Just download official removal tool: http://www.gamevance.com/deactivate.php. This method is checked and it works well.

There might be something left in registry and in C:\Program Files, also in your user directory, App Data subfolder. Typical uninstalers leave user-specific settings by default. I would allow mcaffee to clean them out.

I have uninstalled Gamevance, but it still is coming up as an unwanted program with McAfee. What else do I have to uninstall so McAffe doesn’t pick it up?

Nick : Try using revo uninstaller or Spybot S&D. However, there might be an adware that promotes gamevance (maybe affiliates). I would contact gamewance support and complain hell of them – it is illegal and they would be listed again as malware if they allow such behaviour.
Also, do not use AVG (free version). Get its paid version, or if you want a free antivirus get AVAST or AVIRA. AVG does not provides rootkit protection in free version, and that might lead to serious infections.

I don’t think I have gamevance, but its pop ups keep being displayed. I have tried running AVG anti virus countless times. It keeps detecting things and removing them, but there’s always more. How do I get rid of all the spyware. is it worm?

It should uninstall normally, Linda. If not, try one of above listed spyware removal programs or Revo Uninstaller.

I have tried several ways to uninstall Gamevance and it will not allow me to uninstall. Is it because I have windows Vista? Do you have any sugestions as to how I can get rid of this horrible program?
