I had trouble too, but I can get it on Internet Explorer - Jan

I can get smiley central on my emails but itwon't work on this forum and there's no place on my ISP provider'stoolbar that will give an add/remove option. I know very little aboutcomputers beyond the basics. Can I use Internet Explorer to get ontothis site using my ISP (Tiscali)? Or are there any other suggestionsthat might get me to having smiley central or similar because I'dreally enjoy having those little pictures to add.

Rowan, not really sure as my computer knowledgeis minimal (it's my husband that does all the clever technical things).I sign on with aol, minimise it and go on again with Internet Explorer,which brings up the Smiley on the tool bar - Jan

You're welcome hon..

The best way to get rid of spyware is to get twoprograms..don't worry they are ok and they work goodtoo...

One is called AdAware and the other one is calledSpybot Search and Destroy...those will help get rid of most of theproblem...also a good anti virus program will help too..just look thoseup on your search engine...hope this helps

Hey, the day after I downloaded Smiley Central,our computer crashed and lost everything, and now I think of it, when Iwas on the site a little ladybug came on the screen and offered someweather programe with the option of 'download now' or 'cancel'.Although I clicked on cancel, when I signed off there was a littleladybug on the bottom of my screen, and soon after everything was gone.Fortunately, my husband is a computer wizz (so he likes to think )and he put everything back, but it took several days. Now it makessense, - Thanks - but be careful all - Jan
