There does indeed seem to be a lot of discussion about it,

Its seems my Auntys Norton is causing this, as I tried it on a spare machine, with no antivirus, and it worked,..

seems odd though...

Did it drop any malware on your spare machine?

Haven't removed it from any machines in the last couple of months, would be interested to know if it still drops malware.

Smiley Central drops malware on machines and is listed as such in many good anti-spyware programs as an item to be marked and removed.

I suggest it being removed from any of my client's machines and if they like smileys, they can use Incredimail instead.
