We want to assure you that Fun Web Products does not "spider" websites, nor
does it contain malicious software. It is simply an extremely popular webtool
that continues to grow in popularity.

For more about Fun Web Products - and our MyWebSearch toolbar - please see
the information below. If you still have any concerns about Fun Web Products
software or users accessing your site, please click here to contact us. We
welcome any comments you may have about our free service.

Fun Web Products:

Does NOT "spider" websites
Does NOT contain any malicious software
Does NOT collect any personal information
Does NOT monitor the sites visited
Does NOT monitor behavior on the Internet
Does NOT log or track keystrokes
Does NOT "hijack" home pages
Does NOT serve or facilitate ads
Why some spyware services may mistake Fun Web Products and its MyWebSearch
Toolbar for "Spyware"

Spyware detection is an emerging online product category with a lack of a
single standard. As a result, there is a substantial amount of confusion and
misinformation on the Web about how spyware detection software works and what
“spyware†actually means. This lack of a single standard often results in
legitimate software being classified as spyware.

There are currently dozens of spyware detection companies in the market,
ranging from substantive corporations to one-person operations. And new
offshore and mom-and-pop companies are emerging all the time. As a result,
it is often difficult to know which companies may be mis-classifying our
software and equally difficult to find them and have them correct their
classification error.

Fun Web Products are neither adware nor spyware and we are aggressively
working with any companies who may have mis-classified our products as such.
In virtually all instances, this classification has already been reversed.

This is from out of the horse's mouth. See:

Makes no difference what the Smiley Central web site says, it is spyware.

MyWebSearch is SCUMWARE!!!

That's right - I was trying to remember what it installed but couldn't. I
have removed MyWebSearch that Smiley Central installs. Bloody annoying bit
of spyware that, if you don't get everything correctly, reinstalls itself
just like CoolWebSearch does.
