Smiley Central is well known SPYWARE.
My advice would be to remove it permanently.
Spyware causes your system to slow down as well as sending personal surfing information to spam marketeers.

To make sure everything is running fine run both anti virus and anti spyware apps in normal AND safe modes. (make sure that they are updated first ! ;)) (AVG (http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1) is good and free AV)
(A couple of good removal tools are Spybot (http://www.safer-networking.org/) and Adaware (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/))

ALso an on line virus and spyware scanner is Trend Housecall (http://housecall.trendmicro.com/)

Just a note; actively running two AV's on one machine can cause problems.

Ben is dead on there. You might want to check this site out to help you find some of the other crap that program installed but be very careful with the highjack this instructions that you select the right line.Its a great tool in the right hands but can really muck up if misused.
