I Ran a virus scan with the McAfee virus Scan (Dell security Center) and all the emoticons installer (emoinstallers) were marked as Unwanted Programs by 180 Solutions.

Is this true? do Emoinstallers instal Spyware/adware?

Well they dont show up in the Ad-Aware & Spybot List.

Some of the more software out there does contain adware. However McAfee uses Advanced Script detection in its ability to search for anything dodgy...And many Emoticon installers use similar script deployment as adware. So there's two possibilities;
1) The Emoticon installer does contain some really covert adware or spyware
2) The Emoticon installer uses a script that McAfee thinks could be adware or spyware...

OK, i just found out that Emoinstallers install 180Searchassistant, which i uninstalled a long time ago (dunno if itl come back). Anyone know any other emoticons installer without spyware/adware?

The Napster thinks Fuck adware and Spyware
