BYE BYE SMILEYS

MY LAPTOP IS NOW A YEAR OLD, AND IT WAS TIME TO PAY FOR NORTON ANTI VIRUS AND SOME SPY WARE SOFTWARE THAT I BOUGHT WITH THE COMPUTER. I DECIDED TO UNINSTALL BOTH PROGRAMS AND GO WITH A COUPLE OF FREE PROGRAMS RECOMMENDED BY A BLOGGER I READ.

THE FIRST THING THE NEW SPY WARE DID WAS TO REMOVE THE SMILEY SOFTWARE FROM MY COMPUTER AS A MAJOR SPY, ALONG WITH ABOUT A HUNDRED OTHER SPY'S LURKING ON MY MY HARD DRIVE. I WAS ALWAYS A LITTLE SUSPECT OF THAT FREE PRODUCT SO I'VE DUMPED THE SMILEYS.

MEANWHILE THE SEARCH FOR NEW AVATARS CONTINUES. BEAR WITH ME AS I EXPERIMENT.
