Smileys
I always see this advertisment to get 10,000 free smiles for IM and email, but every time I try to download it it wont let me. Is this a hoax or do I need to get it another way? Heres the link Smiles

My brother did one of those and I got stuck with a toolbar for it. Following that link I found this privacy policy: http://www.funwebproducts.com/eula/ (also an end user license agreement. A google search found this: http://j-walkblog.com/blog/comments/A13520_0_1_0_C/ and a reference to it here: http://www.doxdesk.com/parasite/MySearch.html
I would stay away.

If it's an ad, always be suspicious of it. I personall never download those things - it's far easier to either purchase it or just plainly stay away from them.

Stuff like that is usually spyware or worse. Trust me, you don't want any part of it. Do you want to allow somebody to hijack your computer in exchange for a few silly pictures? Just say no.
