It will mess up your system and it isnt something you can just delete!

People have been using Vtank for years and I haven't heard of any problems with the install. What exactly did it do?

Nothing wrong with vtank.

You may wanna run a virus/malware scan.

The only thing that doesn't "just delete" is the virindi view service, and Virindi herself even posted detailed instructions on how to remove it on her wiki. There are hundreds of people that use vtank on a daily basis with no such problems.

I am not saying the macro doesnt work guy I am saying the Dl puts more on your computer then it lets on and the steps she gave for uninstalling do not work.

You ever stop and think why this plug in installs into places no other plug in does?

You mean the "virindi plugins" folder? Could it be because more than one program is installed (vtank/v reporter/v huds/etc.)?

There are a number of plugins that create their own folder for installation.

Edit: It sounds like another person who "can't read instructions/follow directions/take time to learn about a program before using it" strikes again.

And just so ya know....I just closed my IE windows and opened my task manager. No "hidden" browser pages running. No idea what you got going on bud.

I have deleted vtank/virindi programs before. No problem at all.

Did you install the bundle, or the stand alone vtank (which hasn't been supported in about a year)?

Also...did you dl from virindi's site, or from a second hand dl site?

Edit: Curious now where you dl'd vtank from. The dl from the official site is a very small .zip file. The actual plugin files aren't dl'd until you run the installer package from the zip.

My Bundle installs in a different way because of the autoupdate functionality. Providing all of the new features would have been impossible if each user had to download a new copy of a plugin several times a week.

Removal of the Bundle can be accomplished following the steps I have previously detailed here: http://vnboards.ign.com/message.asp?topic=114109702

The Bundle installs nothing which runs in Windows in the background. All bundle components, other than the vtclassic loot editor, run inside AC only. The loot editor is a simple program that must be launched by the user by double clicking it in the folder, and when you quit it closes.

I have downloaded and installed VTank to over a dozen different computers/laptops/VM's (XP 32bit, Vista 32bit and 7 64bit). No problems on any of them. The latest one was just a couple days ago.

And I have uninstalled/deleted it without a problem from at least 1 laptop when I gave it to my wife.

VTank is safe, effective, and well-done.

I don't think he is a troll so much as just generally unintelligent...
