Zwinky - Lure of MySpace Kids

zwinky.smileycentral.com — This site shows the disgusting ways companies advertise in order to gain access to a family computer. This file is probably corrupting hundreds upon hundreds of hard drives across the country as some young children were lured because of MySpaces ad campaign promising fun through a download of a spy-ware and virus infected virus.

  • Sspayt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i don't see any myspace related stuff in this. how do u say itz disguising dude?
  • Nulagrithom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I've been thinking the same thing, but you have no proof, and you're not even linking to an article. It's very possible that there's spyware on that thing, I haven't looked it up, but you can't just link to the site.
  • sxcappledumplin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0>_>....................wow i have been on zwinky for a long time and have never seen anyone ask where another person lives, and im sure there are some but for cryin out loud your gonna get that on any online thing pretty much, and if your smart you wont even tell them. Calling it disgusting is a major overstatement you might as well call school disgusting, or heck even call life disgusting then.

  • KentuckyRanger, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0My Daughter wanted Zwinky because My Neice and Her Friends have it.
    I was busy with allot of things and didn't give it much thought, I said ok, get your Zwinky.
    When things calmed down and I got on the PC to look up something online, there it was.
    MyWebSearch Toolbar, Uggg!
    I was going to delete it but She begged and said all Her Friends where on it and that they'd think She was un-cool because She couldn't get on and chat. OK, I remember being a Kid and I know that computers are a crucial link for kids now Days so I let it go.
    I was over visiting my Mom the other Day when my Niece said someone on Zwinky was wanting to know where She lives, this alarmed me.
    My Daughter is 13 and my Niece is 12, way too young for un moderated chat. I thought Zwinky was a Kid friendly, moderated chat, WRONG!
    My Wife made up an Avatar and went in to see what was going on and it disgusted us both.
    She posed as an 11 Year old Girl and within 5 Min She had Avatars asking where She lived and 2 asked if She would send them Pictures of Her naked.
    One wanted Her to take off Her clothes and touch Herself.
    Parents beware, Zwinky is NOT Kid safe.
