<description><![CDATA[Cant run the program no freemium can make me down my shields.
As much as i understand the need to guarantee it can only be used one day this is the worst DRM i seen in my life .
It will backfire more and more people will refuse to download,enough people very willing to take over the dominant position "Give Away"has.
Be smart fix this wrapper or take the shortest straw in the long run.

In the end free loaders load free ,for you "Give Away"workers its a job.
It might sound negative but if i did not care i would not even take the time to make a comment.

You must have posted this  at the same time  that I requested no more  posts on this issue.  Please post  this  over in the blog post that I've  linked to above.  The more users that complain the more likely something will be done about it. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Installed fine for me on 7-Ultimate x64. However, I need a security software upgrade right now. I'm running bare minimum protection. I have a suspicion about the "monitoring" error, but - because I'm posting so late, I don't think it will do anybody any good. I hope to post earlier tomorrow, both here and in the blog, but I suspect this may be a problem that is going to require a wrapper rethink as I believe there's no easy fix for some of our patrons.

In any case, I'm starting to sour a little on these Wheemplay games. I'm wondering why this developer doesn't get a little more ambitious. Then the games could be sold for more. However, this one has a little better graphics than some of the Wheemplays - Rob-Rob comes to mind - though that crude look was probably intentional. Anyway, I have the following observations:

As WriterBob said, sound setting doesn't seem to control the banging much, I can see where it might get annoying.
I agree with takiainen, the repetitive spinning could get to be bothersome to your hand.
I could only control the machine some. I'm having a little trouble unconsciously slightly picking up my optical mouse more than I intend to, which causes the cursor to skip across the screen. I caused the machine to blow up at least once. I'm not sure if I'm going to find this game interesting enough to master the movement.
Program needs to be run as administrator or pressing Play or Survival does nothing, even on the web - I had to start my browser as administrator. I use a limited account for security reasons. UAC has never really annoyed me that much. I don't know if the need to run it as admin. has to do with the current version of flash. Some of my old Wheemplays didn't need it, some - like Winterball - did. Certainly, I agree with those in the past who have said running as admin. for a game should be avoided when possible.
The bad grammar doesn't bother me that much, but, if the developer put some time into it, the Wheemplay games might not come off looking so slapped together. However, I can see where some might see the bad grammar as "disgustful". That drew an LOL out of me.

I agree with you Whiterabbit, some of the Wheemplay's present interesting movement physics challenges - they mostly all seem to be about that - but can't manage to see why sprucing them up a little wouldn't be in the developers best interest. After all, some of the more graphically attractive games given away here have had a flash demo for online play that was close to the quality of the original. These seem to be more of a pastime than a serious attempt to sell games. Interesting ideas need interesting presentation to be taken seriously. Unfortunate, but true.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Themida:

Turn off ALL YOUR SECURITY.

While, by necessity, REMAINING ONLINE to install/activate GOTD!

Themida:

Too unsecure, I won't turn off my security, to install a free program, and lose loads of money(I dont't even have)to id theft, or a new comp.

Who's idea was this?
To prevent using the GOTD on a different day, by demanding that we compromise our own security? We have far more to lose than a few people getting the GOTD on a diff day!
To ensure no one wants to use it at all is what you are accomplishing. 

This is sad, and unlike the GOTD I knew :(]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Thanks For posting it Whabbit I tried to post on both the Forum and the Program give away. It has been posted a half dozen times ever since 5 PM and they still have not approved it. You are the only guy to approve it.

Thanks for approving its posting on here. I feel better knowing others can see what I have to say. I also feel better to know I am not the only person with this annoying installation problem. 

Until GAOTD goes back to the other wrapper I will no longer be able to install any of the games or programs. I just can not safely allow my machine to run with out my security programs running in it's defense.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Posting this here due to moderators refusing to approve it on the GAOTD Forum for the PageFlip PDF to Flash Converter &amp; in the GOTD wrapper is updated Thread. I wonder why they refuse to approve its posting?

I cleaned up all language and removed the links to alternative software sites. There should be no reason for them not to approve it now, other than perhaps they hate to be insulted and called out for using the new Themida wrapper.

Below This is what they refuse to approve and let be posted on the mentioned forums. 

This Downloaded program also refused to run. I get the following pop up error and Windows alert sound "A monitor program has been found running in your system Please, unload it from memory and restart your program." I turned off the Agnitums Security Suite Pro 7.5 program I have running. (Which finally stops my AV from deleting the setup file as a virus) I turned off the Iobit Malware Fighter Pro that was running it too reports the new GAOTD program as suspicious.

Just in-case these programs where interfering with the install I also turned them off. Advanced System Care pro, Iolo System Mechanic. Anvir task manager &amp; start up monitor, Process Lasso &amp; then last but not least, I turned off my PC's system restore. After I turned everything off &amp; trying to install the programs in safe mode, with just the network running. Even, After trying that  install on this Windows XP  Pro SP3 edition PC, failed to install.

 I tried to install it a couple of times where I left my computer completely vulnerable to the Internet. Something I am loath to do, after doing that to try &amp; get this program to install, it still wouldn't work. I tried a few more times because I wanted yesterdays media browser &amp; todays game &amp; PDF Flash converter. I got to the point where I was starting to swear at the machine &amp; the program. I had to finally give up on installing them as a lost cause. 
 
 GAOTD Your new wrapper has failed me &amp; left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. I have given up on it. I had all the Same problem's today that I had yesterday. I decided to post a complaint about it on here today. Because I have the same errors that everyone else is. I give this a big thumbs down. Plus I give the GAOTD programmers and the tech team a thumbs down due to their choice to use the Themida installation wrapper. A program THAT could be being used to hide anything they want from our av scanners.

The old program wrapper worked about 90% of the time for me I was pretty happy with that. I would rather have a program that installs &amp; works on my Computer 90% of the time, than a wrapper that wont  let me install anything at all. I am so disappointed in this. Why wont  the program wrapper work on my computer just what is preventing it from installing I have shut down every possible secondary function &amp; then some to try &amp; get it to install.

This probably spells the end of my coming here &amp; of my telling my friends to come here when GAOTD has some software i know they would be interested in checking out. I will no longer promote GAOTD on the blogs &amp; forums I post on. Nor will I advertise it via E-mail to my friends. &amp; this is why I wont be doing that anymore. GAOTD can no longer be trusted as safe site to use. If Hackers, Virus Programmers &amp; Malware distributors like to use Themida to hide there malicious programs &amp; codes. What is stopping GAOTD from distributing Malware, spy-ware or some nasty viruses on to my machine with out my knowledge? 

I am sorry GAOTD Project team I can not trust you or with a good conscious recommend for my friends &amp; family to come here for all the free games and programs that we used to get here. =(  if this program wrapper wont work for me or my friends &amp; I can also see many  other posters complaining about it. 

I wonder just how many others are in the same boat that I am but they don't bother to post a complaint about it. I wonder GAOTD just how many will walk away instead ? I absolutely refuse to try anything else to install the games &amp; programs. Because of this mitigating facto r as soon as I restarted my Agnitum security pro the Downloaded file was removed from the folder &amp; quarantined plus Outpost popped up  a report declaring it as suspicious infected file &amp; wanted me to send it in to Agnitum for further study. 

That was even after I had approved it to run on my PC by adding it to A.O.S.P 7.5  exclusion list . My outpost security software really does not like the Themida wrapper you are now using. I will go back to playing the free on-line games instead of using the downloads from here they are not as good as having them installed on my PC but it is better than nothing. As for my need of trying out new programs I will have to settle for what I can get from other sites instead. 

While the other software sites will not have as many free programs as the GAOTD site does they do offer some great free programs from time to time not to mention the daily software they do give away is being done with a wrapper I can trust. One that is not masking the files completely from the AV Scanner I use to protect my PC. If My AV is triggering &amp; deleting the program wrapper as suspicious again I am sorry ... but your program has to go. 

While these other software sites might not have the same quality of daily programs that you guys do they at least are using a installer that works on my PC. I have posted this complaint numerous times &amp; yet it is still not been approved it seems to keep being deleted? I wonder why that is ? I think the sites moderators don't like my insulting GAOTD. It might also be being deleted because I am bad mouthing GAOT D for their use of the Themida wrapper. Something that many Malware &amp; virus infested programmers like to use to hide their content. 

TL/DR

I really, wanted yesterdays progam &amp; todays game. The Game give away &amp; the Daily Program give away I downloaded have both been deleted by my antivirus scanner as suspicious.

I clicked to add them as exceptions. So the AV quit deleting them. I then turned off everything possible &amp; tried to install the game &amp; programs. I Still end up getting a pop up error with the critical error alert sound 

The error reads as follows 

"A monitor program has been found running in your system Please, unload it from memory and restart your program."

Hi Rick, you just caught me, it's nearly 5am here in the UK so was off to bed.  Did you post over in the  blog?  There's a thread specific to this issue?  In any event I've allowed   the comment through.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[....................From Whiterabbit - the moderator..................

Please post any Themida related comments  to the giveaway blog:

http://blog.giveawayoftheday.com/gotd-wrapper-is-updated/comment-page-1/#comment-411358



I apologize for  not replying to many of your  questions regarding the Themida  issue.  Unfortunately I have no  control over this and  have no solutions as I  was able to install the game on all of  systems  I have  working at the moment - a couple are offline being  cleaned and updated at the moment so couldn't test on all of my computers; (<em>despite already having the game I did  decide to reinstall just to  test whether I had the problem.  not that I would have been able to have solved the problem as I'm sure many of you are more capable than I.  but it would have given me a clearer perspective on the issue if at least one of my computers had not installed the game</em>).  

The blog suggests  that users AV software may be  picking up the problem, but as yet it's not clear  which  AV software is   the problem.

The fact that I was able to install the game to three separate computers and a lap top  (1 x Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit, Quad Core i7 3.4GHz, 1 x Win 7 Dual Core Athlon X2 3.2GHz 1 x Win 7 Pro 64 bit Dual Core Athlon X2 3.0GHz with dual boot Vista Home Premium SP2 64 bit and XP Pro 32 bit  plus a laptop with Vista Home Basic 32 bit  single core  2.2GHz )  I'm sure it's not a  hardware  problem  as each computer is set up with different hardware  (Graphic Cards, Sound Cards etc)'  Despite  the obvious problem with Themida  there has still been over 3000 download which would indicate  a good number of users  have probably got this game working.  Generally  users only post   when they have a problem, or    they are regular contributors to the feedback.  So I'm assuming the problem is software oriented.  

All I can suggests (seeing as I'm shooting in the dark, not having had the problem myself), especially for those who  have tried the  free online browser version and have decided they DO want this game; is to initially go into Safe Mode  with networking.  This will   ensure all background programs   essential to windows running  or getting on the  net  are not  stopped, but any other programs that may be causing the conflict are.   If the game then  runs in this mode  it will indicate that  a software issue was the cause.

Once Arcanorum is installed you can then restart your computer as normal and it should work with  no issues.  :)

I won't moderate any more  comments relating to the installation/Themida  problem, as mentioned above please direct all comments to the blog, which is covering this issue.]]></description>
