Wondering about the security and wisdom of having this software installed now....
Did you run your AV and Cleaners Ace? Did it pick anything up?
Hi,
You can download Portable version from here, not need install, just unzip and run the XLaunchpad.exe file:

yes, I did, and it found 4 malicious browser add-ons and a rogue search engine that changed my Google default ,and it added a toolbar. My anti-virus couldn't remove it so I used a toolbar remover program that Doc had featured in a post. I'm so glad I had it. Anyway....the reason it has taken me so long to get back to this post is because I ended up having to re-format my hard drive and re-install Windows. the reason being because my system was performing weird and I lost the right scroll function of my mouse in my Command and Conquer Generals game......is that weird or what? but now that I did all that (although it was a big pain in the bum ) things are back to normal thankfully and I've increased my security settings to prevent any future calamitys.

Here's the link to download the cleaner, it's completely free and I can tell you it really does work like a charm. I had 2 other toolbar cleaners installed but this is the only one that could nuke those add-ons.

Geez Ace...not your day mate! But i'm heartened to know i'm not the only one still playing Generals!! (though i play Zero Hour)
I too grabbed that tool from the your link, handy to have..ty!

Thanks Ace. I'm not going for Launchpad, too many gremlins for my taste but the tool bar cleaner is handy. Just in case.
Reply #29 Sunday, March 18, 2012 8:44 PM
Yeah, actually it is Zero Hour that I play all the time, and that's because you can use cheats, which don't work so well in the original Generals
glad I could share that cleaner with you guys, it's probably one of the handiest tools I have in my arsenal, it seems that just about every piece of software you want to install these days has some kind of toolbar with it they want to unload on ya.

Cheats?!?! I not long ago, finally, got the medal for beating every map against maximum number of Hard opponents, cheat free. I actually consider it one of my greatest achievements in all of gaming.
Sad, i know.![]()

LOL !! Yeah it is ......you're giving us cheaters a bad name
Reply #35 Monday, March 19, 2012 1:32 AM
oh O.k. ....LOL !!! no, I used to, but it wasn't any fun after awhile, everybody wants to spam some units then rush you and boom!! game over ! .....what fun is that ? no, I just play against the AI now. There are some pretty good AI mods that really are challenging, and they at least give you a fighting chance.
Reply #36 Monday, March 19, 2012 3:23 AM
Yeah i never play that style. I use base defense and turtle and let them come to me! Which is why i'm no good at Starcraft II!!
Reply #37 Monday, March 19, 2012 4:14 AM
I play the same way you do. I like building all my defenses and takin' it slow and let them come to me and try to get through my defenses. To me , that's what makes the game fun. After a while when I've taken out like a zillion of the enemy units, then I'll send out a few units and take out a few bases myself.

@Ace...WOW....I'm always just a little scared when you get those unexplainable browser changes, and when it's with the weirdness you just mentioned, even more so!
