who installed smileys on their computer?

Though not known particularly for virus spreading, installing those "free" IM smileys are one of the #1 ways of infecting your computer with spyware and adware.  These unwanted programs can affect your computer in adverse ways, but because they do not attempt to replicate themselves and are not DESIGNED to be harmful, they are not considered to be viruses.

Try this:\n\nOn your desktop click:\n\n1. start\n2. control panel\n3. open "Add or Remove Programs"\n4. A window will pop up (may take a minute to load)\n5. Scroll down until you find the "smiley" program and highlight it\n6. Click chang/remove button. \n\nThat should take care of the problem.\n\nHope this helped.

I've used it, but it didn't work for me. I saw no smileys, and just the code. It is fairly easy to use, but it does install a fairly annoying toolbar in IE.

We used to like to hack into the Nord 500 mainframe computer and do crazy s*it. It was mostly our intention to drive the Sys Admins crazy, or have them running around like wild geese. The funniest was the day the system crashed legitimately and they confiscated our code for over 24 hours!

your smileys are nothing more than animated gif files you can save the ones you like (Right mouse click / save as) and use them either as a attachment or attach a picture in your e-mails

If you mean in Yahoo Messenger, then click on the smiley face in the IM window between the conversation and the typing area.\n\nOtherwise, it depends on what software you are using.  Note:  I recommend that you DO NOT download any smiley software from places such as Smiley Central as they are usually bundled with Spyware.\n\nHope that helps!

Be careful if are thinking about downloading smileys of any kind, Cuz' yes it will cost you.... dearly! These programs are embedded with spyware, malware, and pop-ups (all of which are gateways to the even more destructive VIRUS)

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

dont you know that living well is the best revenge?\n\nhow about this... take comfort in the fact that when that idiot downloaded that booter he also downloaded about 16 tons of adware. meaning his computer is total crap. ...he might get a little power trip satisfaction from being a dickwad in chatrooms but his computer is running like crap because he doesnt know what he is doing. dont be like him... dont let idiots like that get to you, youre better than that.
