anyone knows where this AMD Gaming Evolved from raptr is hidden ?? I guess this now installs with amd drivers and don't tell you it will or give the option to decline it .. with this last install of drivers from amd it said in the ccc the this is already installed and is grayed out so you cant choose to uninstall it , so I looked it up and at amd forums its easy just go to add/remove and what ever but its not there and I spent the last hour picking through files on the drive and still cant find nothing on it [50mb] nowhere .. re ran ccc to see if it will uninstall but no .. funny if this is the way AMD is going to be sneaking 3ed party programs on me with out my consent and no way to remove it were done ... any help will be appreciated in tracking this file down and removing it ..

OK dude. Put down the pot and the conspiracy theories and relax. Deep breaths. Learn to use paragraphs.

This is exactly the same thing nvidia does with its optimization tool. Its not spyware it is a setting optimization tool AMD pays for to improve your game settings. If you want to uninstall it look for Raptr in uninstall programs. if its not there its not installed. this is not rocket science

um none of them? can you read? maybe the part where it says LETS YOU do those things. it is a tool that LETS YOU do those things if YOU want to. its called a feature.

Seriously who would even be remotely interested in any of that as spyware? its up to you to use it to share things no one cares about. it you want to. if you don't want it installed uninstall raptr. but you have your tinfoil hat in a twist cause you can't read.

ok but where ?? all I see its installed but yet its nowhere to be found to use if I wanted to .. and this is the thing you say-- if you don't want it installed uninstall raptr -- you cant .. as I showed above its installed but it don't remove and then wheres the file?? ive been sitting here with 3 amd drivers seeing if one has something I can work with when I install it list all the packages that I choose to install but that one is always grayed out as already installed and then you can see that when I run uninstall all amd drivers it stays and don't uninstall
like I was asking wheres the folder for that program or the uninstaller this guy sums it up'' newest versions of CCC, the option is no longer there, but Raptr is still installed without any notice at any point. On top of that, the driver detect tool, which is highly recommended by their own site to be used by the average person, installs Raptr without notification, agreement, or even an interface ''
