Smiley central = spyware
I'm pretty sure that's spyware....
Why is there an ad for it on this site? I'm not sure where else to put this... But spyware is bad.

Seriously, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that it would be spyware...

RE: Smiley central = spyware
99% of free programs on the internet include some sort of spyware bundle. Hell, half the programs use spyware to work (hotbar, weatherbug, etc.).

Remember, kiddies:
If it's not open source, it's spyware. |
