Well here is a tip dont download anything youre not sure about and if i were you i would download it and when it is finished downloading scan it with a Antivirus software which you should have because if you dont you are getting viruses right now so if the scan says there are no viruses go ahead and install it. But always remember if its to good to be true dont do it.

I hope this helps.  I know that when I IM and want to send a smiley, that if I wave my curser over the emoticon/smiley it shows the symbols needed to make it.

Because your computer is lucky!! Smiley Central is a popular spyware and a virus-deployer (one that downloads and installs viruses, worms, trojans, etc. without your knowledge). Please avoid using Smiley Central.\n\nRemember BonziBuddy? It was so popular, until someone found out that it's purpose is spying.\n_______\nViva La Dvorak! - www.dvzine.org

I don't think so. None of the cursors, smileys etc software out there come without some kind of adware or unwanted software

I dont think you really want that.\n\nAn article in Consumer Reports's Web Watch labels BonziBUDDY as spyware, stating that it is a Backdoor Santa in that it collects information from users. Among the activities the program is said to engage in include constantly resetting the user's web browser homepage to bonzi.com without the user's permission, prompting and tracking various information about the user, and serving advertisements.[5] Spyware Guide's entry on the program states that it installs automatically without user knowledge or consent via an ActiveX object in Internet Explorer

What you have mentioned is not indicative of an infection. But since you asked about spyware, I think you might feel more at ease with regard to viruses and spyware if you read a security guide and follow its directions. Specifically, "Secure your system" -- http://protractive.gdshadow.net/Protractive?action=display;board=softsec;num=1143459943\n\nI can almost guarantee that if you follow those directions, you will have nothing to be concerned about from malware.\n\n\n\nBuckeye's: The program's name is Ad-Aware. Ad_Aware_. It's a play on adware, a type of malware. ... never mind.\nungkog: ITYM crackers.
