Post subject: adware, threat level Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>vista>security (more info?)
Hello everyone,
I had recently downloaded some animated Smiles. My AV programs found adware
in the Smiley program, namely MyWebSearch and Fun Web Products. The threat
level ( scale 1- 10 ) is 1.
I am not sure if I should or should not keep the Smiley program. Please
advise. Thank you.

If you don't mind adware, keep the silly smilies.

Please elaborate what adware at threat level 1 could do to my computer. I am
not knowledgeable to understand the consequences. " Level 1 " seems to be
non-threatening. No ?
