Email: You may have a YM virus [DB]
Read this article, it’s the most helpful link I found in 15 minutes of Googling Y[ahoo]M[essenger] spam.
I logged on this morning and received the following YM -- which is spam because you didn’t send it, right? DON”T CLICK THE LINK! The time, wording, and link are all suspect and resemble other YM spam that get sent out once the ”sender” is infected, but this is the first one I’ve seen that transmitted on its own instead of as part of a current chat [like that damn Smiley Face Central YM spam that sends spam the sender doesn't know about].

Thanks for perpetuating inaccurate information. Smiley Central does not send any spam. It's a simple download and toolbar, nothing more, nothing less. The toolbar includes free smileys, cursors, screensavers, ecards, and a search box. The revenue model is based on this search box. It makes money like any search engine - via sponsored links on search resutls pages.
It is not spyware, it is not adware, it is not spam.
Liar. Any Google search proves the truth about Smiley Central, Fun Buddy Icons, and the rest: http://www.pchell.com/support/funbuddyicons.shtml
