Well, I wanted to play the Instant Play, but when I clicked on it, it just gave me a blank page and nothing ever loaded.
So I went ahead and downloaded the program.
I was able to register and login with no problem, but before the lobby even loaded, it shut down and gave me an error message saying Windows had to close the program and is checking for a solution to the problem.
Then after a second, it said Windows was unable to find a solution, but it said something about DEP and said to click here for more info and when I did, this was what I got:
=====================================
What is Data Execution Prevention?
Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a security feature that can help prevent damage to your computer from viruses and other security threats. Harmful programs can try to attack Windows by attempting to run (also known as execute) code from system memory locations reserved for Windows and other authorized programs. These types of attacks can harm your programs and files.
DEP can help protect your computer by monitoring your programs to make sure that they use system memory safely. If DEP notices a program on your computer using memory incorrectly, it closes the program and notifies you.
======================================
And that's all it said, so I don't know if this means it possibly is malware or not, wondered if anyone else had any problems with it. Thought you'd want to know.
thx
So right after that happened, I noticed there was a strange new icon in my quicklaunch menu on my taskbar .
All I did was right click on it to see what it was, and it said Cash O'Lot Casino, which really irked me, because that is not acceptable to place an icon in your quicklaunch menu.
They're not supposed to do that without asking permission during installation of the program, and they absolutely did not ask.
But then, it was even worse, because right then, the casino program I downloaded opened up without my telling it to open. Just right clicking on the icon apparently was enough to open it up, which I did not want to happen.
After getting the error I described in my post above which made me worry about possible malware from this program, I had no intention of opening it at all, as you can probably imagine!
But here it was, open anyway, so I waited to see if it would have the same error it did the first time, but it did not.
So, against my better judgment, I logged in and went to the cashier and unfortunately, I see no mention of the free $25 that was mentioned in the OP.
I do see the $7 one is available, but that's it.
So i'm afraid I'm having some issues with this casino - anyone else?
I uninstalled the program, which seemed to go fine. I see the quick launch icon is no longer there, so that's good.
But then I noticed they also put an icon on my desktop, which also shouldn't be done without asking, and I always say no, but they never asked, but there it was.
So somehow, it did not get removed when I uninstalled the software. I don't like that, but I was just going to delete it manually, so I tried, but it said it could not find the thing I was trying to delete, even though I was looking right at it! That's what I right clicked on to delete it, but it says it can't find it, and that doesn't make any sense.
So now, I don't see any way to delete it from my desktop. There was no other option once it said it couldn't find it!
