You friend has to have it too to see the emoticons!
Only works with the last version of msn Messenger (6.1.0207)

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

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

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:

Robhel:
ertlo
Art Cwhy is th:
razyis like this?

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

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

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!?????

the website is www.funwebproducts.com .

thanks....looking into it...

This sounds like ADWARE, not spyware... Just like the Plus! sponsor, only this one IS NOT OPTIONAL. It will be uninstalled by the application.
