Hello everybody,
I would like to clarify few things:
1. We are not SmileyCentral (BuddyFun, etc...). It's a different company / different product.
2. SweetIM is a new product that was developed for fun not for commercial reasons.
3. THERE ARE NO SPYWARE / ADWARE / TROJANS or whatsoever. Please feel free to activate anti-spyware / antivirus on the client. The only thing it does, it adds (like most of the application) the Installation Directory in the registry (HK_CURRENTUSER\Software\Macrogaming\SweetIM) and standard automatic run entry. For continuous automatic update, it tries to connect to SweetIM web site.
4. The purpose of this project is to enhance the MSN Messenger environment with new and exciting content. I really hope that you'll like and use the product.
For those that can't find the download please feel free to go to:
http://www.sweetim.com
We never said you were smileycentral - only that it seems rather like it.
And personally notifing all your contacts, whenever you type, that they don't have it installed ect is seen as adware to me. And for that matter, others have reported registry edits, addition of links and anti-virus/jave changes.
TBH We are only telling users to be wary, and we can't really class you as a known group or a well known member.
For that matter has anyone contacted an admin for removal, if not I shall PM one now.
