Question: how do you get rid of whatever it is they plant on your computer when you download smileys? 

Answer: uninstall the program? unfortunately i guess it means the smileys go together too.. a friend of mine installed it, used all the smileys in a conversation window (in msn messenger), copied and added them as custom emotes and uninstalled the whole downloaded smileys thing. I believe it works that way too :)
