If you need a guide on how to remove Smiley Central from your computer, try this one: http://www.pchell.com/support/smileycentral.shtml

A proof that Smiley Central contains spyware/adware and thus should not be installed. This is live video of me downloading Smiley Central for Firefox and uploading it to VirusTotal.

The song is A Reason[Track One Recordings] by CIRC.

I edited out unnecessary parts (uploading and scanning) and shortened the video from 10 to 2 minutes. Filename and uploading time are clearly visible during scanning, so you can't say this is fake.

Scanning Smiley Central installation executable yielded following results:

  • Notice how it says (on 0:10) ¨No Spyware. No Adware. We take pride in our products¨!!!!

    So misleading!

  • @LukRacer Yeah.

  • Thanks to Przemek32767 for this valuable information. But what if I have downloaded 2 smileys and thy're in my files ? Kindly respond to this comment.

  • @xhalloweene1 Do you mean you downloaded but did not install them? If Smiley Central installer is downloaded but not run, it shouldn't do any harm.

  • god, i want to download something(link leads trough linkbucks)

    *linkbucks waiting* suddenly SMILEY CENTRAL, ALL THE FUCKING TIME

  • cursor mania, zwinky and smiley central STALK ME!

  • Im gonna download MalwareBytes cause I went on Zwinky, and it infected a fiel on my computer from what Kaspersky 2011 said.

  • And cursormania thinks it's DELICIOUS!

  • WTF??? HOW MANY FUCKING VIDEOS HAVE TO BE IN A DIFFRENT LAUNGAGE?????? ITS BULLSHIT

  • I just realized that this was probably why my computer was so bugged up when I was ten. Sudden realization lol.

  • 1. i go on a NORMAL game or website (lets say a game website that has no viruses or anything)

    2. the game gets all laggy and stops working

    3. i obviously lose the game and get angry

    4. i try again, then its still laggy, and then my screen goes white

    5. i try to click with my cursor (from the shitty "cursor mania" on Smiley Central)

    6. Finally a message pops up and says the internet is not working (but connectoins fine!)

    Could that be because of smiley central?

  • WHAT??Avast did not detect??i tought it's so good...

  • strange they what does it do? i had it on for like a year and it didint seam to do anything it was even easy to delete.

  • The song title is wrong. its revolution song (tonight,tonight)
