I've just downloaded Smiley Central but Spybot and Windows Defender both seem to class it as spyware.Is it safe to have on my computer or should I uninstall it?

I would leave it alone if I were you..
I had a problem with it myself and spybot kicked it off my computer but I have heard some horrer stroies about it.
Keep it and what do you gain
Delete it what have you lost

Smiley Central puts the MyWebSearch and/or FunWebSearch spyware on your computer. Smiley Central does not consider this as spyware and therefore allows for easy removal of the spyware. Go to Add/Remove Programs and find one or both of the above and uninstall it.
Smiley Central's website has the removal instructions. This is legit removal.

You can use polar smiley centers like yahoo or msn or refereed by them. Dont take a risk with others. Those may content virus.

That would be because it IS spyware. So get rid of it.
