[timeout1]

Hi all,
i have recieved an email, from ...smiley central. offering
free smileys & other extras, looks & sounds good,
i am bit wary of installing it has anyone any experience
of this company, any help appreciated.

I know Smiley Central used to come bundled with spyware but I don't know if it still does,it also used to install unwanted toolbars but that is going back a few years. Try googling it and read a few links to see what other users have to say.
Personally I wouldn't download it myself but then I never use stuff like that anyway.

daffy,..... thanks for your reply, your right they do mention that
a toolbar comes with the installation,
I dont know a lot about computers, think i will take your advice and google it, but i am tempted to just delete the e.mail.

you should ask yourself....

Is it free?
do you know the person?
have you asked for it?
why is someone offering you something free you haven't asked for?

if the answer to any is yes
the reason you got the mail is probably not nice ....

send me �1000 and all your pins ..... and I'll tell you more!!

Thanks for your impeccable advise,unfortunatly,
i aint got a �1000, but you can have all my pins & needles
too,

Do not install Smiley Central. We had someone do it here at work and it messed up their email settings.
