Question

Is it safe to download emoticoms from Smiley Central or Screen Savers from sites?

Answer 1

I would avoid Smiley Central downloads. From SiteAdvisor:

"In our tests, we found downloads on this site that some people consider adware, spyware or other potentially unwanted programs."

The safety of free screen savers vaires wildly depending on the site. Some are good. Some are malicious.

I suggest the free version of SiteAdvisor to help you decide:

Answer 2

The emoticons don't come with virus, but sometimes the screen savers come with virus, only sometimes, but normally the anti-virus programs have the thing to say that were there it isn't nothing.
