Games on the Internet + Smiley Central

[PainterMan]

Hallo Spybot Forum.

I know that Smiley Central have a bad reputation.
But my daughter and I like their smileys, wallpaper and small games from Smiley Arcade.

:oops:
I can see your smiley is nice too !
:angel:

I have not installed anything on this new Vista PC
from Smiley Central.

But had on the old XP. Unfortunal it "is no longer"
(Not because of Smiley Central)

Is Smiley Central full of Mailware/Spyware?
(They say they are not...)

And small games - Are they also full of Mailware/Spyware?
Some say they are.
(The game-firms say they are not)

Do you Game-places who are safe to use?

Shall I install other Anti-Mailware/Spyware programs
besides Spybot?

Some of my friends use several.
But I will not install anything, who might conflict.

Two Anti-Virus Programmes is bad I know.

What about two, tree Anti-Mailware programs?,
and who would you sugest, if it are needed?

Hello,

We detect Smileycentral belonging to Funwebproducts and MyWay.MyBar.

Although none of these products claim to be spyware, they do slow your computer down.
All of the products use cookies to track usage, although they claim not to use cookies or anything else to track personally identifiable information.
That being said, I would still recommend uninstalling the SmileyCentral software and other Fun Web Products if you feel your computer runs better without them.
They are found by many spyware removal tools such as Spybot Search and Destroy, Lavasoft Ad-Aware, although they are deemed spyware safe by Aluria Software who created a Spyware SAFE Certification.

Further online gaming is a very complicated thing.
Some are ok, but the most are not.
Especially poker stuff and that kind.

It is not possible for any anti-spyware-tool to detect every threat because the spyware sector is growing and developing too fast.
So it might happen that one anti-spyware-tool detects something that the other misses.
Therefore it is recommendable to run more than one security software.
Spybot - Search & Destroy is programmed in a way that there shouldn't be any compatibility problems.

Hi sandra !

I have not installed Smiley Central on the new PC.

The games are children games - Like "Cake Mania, Luck Charm De Luxe, Cutterball.
Not poker, casino, and something like that.

Well, since Spyboot can run with other... Are there some you special can recommand, then?


I like PC
