I just today downloaded Smiley Central before I received the tip. It was fortunate that I didn't have 9.0 AOL downloaded. Because I didn't, I was unable to use the Smiley program. Thank goodness for this tip. I was going to go ahead and download 9.0. I've uninstalled the Smiley. Think this will take care of any problems I may have? Vicki Billings

Vicki, I would recommend you run Ad-Aware and SpyBot to clean up anything left over from your un-installation. This would clean up your system and would be recommended to do on a regular basis. Hope this helps. Art >I just today downloaded Smiley Central before I received the tip. It was >fortunate that I didn't have 9.0 AOL downloaded.

Vicki, now that you have installed and subsequently deleted Smiley Central, I would suggest you run Adaware, SpyBot or Pest Patrol (or all three) just to make sure there are lingering spyware files from this program which were missed by the uninstall.
