I have a question and had no idea where to post it so I'll stick it here and someone can move it or answer it if they like.
A while back, I saw someone mention the site 'Fun Utilities Site' and so I checked it out and it has some interesting downloads on it. The problem is that most sites like this offer cute little cursors and desktop pics and screen savers, only they load you up with spy-ware/male-ware etc along with them.
Does anyone have any experience with this site?
Regards 
Len

i would always get my antivirus to scan downloads before you open them

Screensavers, smileys for email, flashing & farting buttons and so on are usually riddled with adware, spyware and even virus.
