Smiley Central is Spyware. I don't recommend it.


RE: Smiley Central Beta for MSN! by ~*Jparto*~ on 01-12-2004 at 04:36 PM

I just found out that the website says it's not spyware/adware, but my adware removel program says differently...


RE: Smiley Central Beta for MSN! by Art Crazy on 01-12-2004 at 05:52 PM

Mine says nothing..
And one thing, it is a beta, and has a lot of bugs! i've found 5 with messenger itself and 10 if we use plus!
like /ping
The "Ping [request]" stays at the color you use and some messeges that you sent before become green
there are some commands that may make it look like:

Rule: if it's advertised by a huge popup and it says it's free and it is not made by Patchou, its dodgy enough to have hidden spyware or adware :gfdrin:


RE: Smiley Central Beta for MSN! by ~*Jparto*~ on 01-12-2004 at 06:11 PM

I use both Ad-Aware and Spy Bot Search and Destroy and both say it's spyware.


RE: Smiley Central Beta for MSN! by CookieRevised on 01-12-2004 at 06:40 PM

Is there a website from the maker of this program? (couldn't find one). What does he say about his program? Because, all things being equal, it isn't fair to say that other free advertised software have spyware (just because some anti-spyware programs say it is) without checking the author. Remember that optional sponsor thing in a program called Plus!?????


RE: Smiley Central Beta for MSN! by ~*Jparto*~ on 01-12-2004 at 06:57 PM

the website is www.funwebproducts.com .

This sounds like ADWARE, not spyware... Just like the Plus! sponsor, only this one IS NOT OPTIONAL. It will be uninstalled by the application.
RE: Smiley Central Beta for MSN! by lizard.boy on 01-12-2004 at 11:20 PM

its like hotbar. i still have to clean like 40 adware programs form my computer n00b aunt's puter


RE: Smiley Central Beta for MSN! by Beno on 01-12-2004 at 11:22 PM

I really trust Ad-Aware and if it removes it...I'd leave it removed.  What's the big deal anyway...All it does is have smilies right?  Doesn't sound worth the hassle.


RE: Smiley Central Beta for MSN! by Chrono on 01-12-2004 at 11:52 PM

indeed i wouldnt install adware just to get some smilies :chrongue:

Errrrr.... Who made What?.....
If you mean: take of the spyware in Plus! Then I gladly inform you that there is no spyware in Plus!
If you mean: take of the spyware in SmileyCentral, then again, I must inform you that there is none (according to the ULA)
Both programs have Adware (and in Plus! it is optional)
If you don't understand why free programs bundle adware, then I suggest to read up some articles on this forum or on various websites about freeware and adware and their relationship...
RE: Smiley Central Beta for MSN! by Art Crazy on 01-13-2004 at 09:26 PM

Sorry, I use Mywaysearch (and Smiley Central for e-mail, MSN, PopSwatter (popupblocker), Mail Stamp, My Signature, Mail Stationary and Cursor mania (all must have mywebsearchbar but I don't care)
And my Ad/Spyware remover didn't find it becouse I tould it to ignore Mywebsearch!


RE: Smiley Central Beta for MSN! by Vaya on 03-12-2004 at 09:50 AM

No matter what this Smiley Central KICK ASS!!!!


RE: Smiley Central Beta for MSN! by BooGhost on 03-14-2004 at 03:44 AM

RE: Smiley Central Beta for MSN! by Nitemistress on 03-14-2004 at 05:09 AM

I downloaded Smiley Central despite my extreme hatred of those extra search/tool bars [Image: grim.gif] but just saved the ones I wanted then uninstalled it.

Definitely something for Plus! [Image: shadesmile.gif]
RE: Smiley Central Beta for MSN! by ~*Jparto*~ on 03-14-2004 at 12:03 PM

HAHAHA! What's I tell ya?! Ya, it may be a cool program to have on your pc......but it ain't worth it.


RE: Smiley Central Beta for MSN! by Huuf on 03-14-2004 at 12:20 PM

I installed it, saw that the other contact also needed the program removed it, it's not worth the pain, some ppl even had to reinstall everything after removal =/


RE: Smiley Central Beta for MSN! by FranzW on 05-15-2004 at 02:22 AM

I've got it, it works almost perfect for me, but when someone starts to send too much smileys, the conversation window get "messed". [Image: 29_1_5.gif]
