First of all you should post in the appropriate thread !, then try and download them again and see where it gives you the option to save them to (dont download tho) that way you will see where they have been saved .Try your downloaded prog folder or search option "Smilies"...then delete the lot

What that really means is if you click on this link, then we'll infect your computer with a load of spyware and potentially a virus or two!

Get some Anti-virus and anti spyware software for your PC if you haven't already!
nothing like that is ever 'free'..

For anti virus, if you haven't got any, this free one is good...
And I would seriously recommend downloading and running the following at least once a week if you're going to be searching for more Free Smiley sites..:

Spybot and Adaware - both for stomping on Spyware, that all those 'free stuff' sites like to infect your computer with..

Good Stuff

The other two things, Spybot and Adaware will also remove any spyware that's been put on your PC too - Lovely software that reports back email addresses and your surfing habits to whoever was kind enough to infect your PC with it :blackeye::blackeye:
If you install one or both of these and run them once a week or so you should be able to keep your PC in good health :)
(Spyware may also sow your PC down, especially when surfing the web, and particularly if anyone uses the PC for gaming online)

Best not to download anything like that at all ,sites like that are notorious for "planting" all sorts on your pc.As Lnl said Ad-Aware is good at cleaning out unwanted trackers etc.
