Where Do I Get...

[intocomputing2]

...all sorts of smilies for forums? I have seen that sometimes posters of a forum place a smilie that is not available in such forum. Is it a program or something you download? and also is it true what I heard that you get spyware and malware when you download these smilies?

Some smilies that you download can be infected with crap such as MyWebSearch.

The following checked out safe with SiteAdvisor.

These are from the first five pages from a Google search. SiteAdvisor had never tested many of the sites I haven't listed and has shown a few to contain serious malware issues. It is best to always check the URLs in SiteAdvisor before clicking on links that are shown on a search. Some of the sites I tested claimed they were malware free which was false.

Make sure you have your protection running, just in case.

My girlfriend's dog is named Cider.

Does that help?
