hi all. how can i download those free icons without downloading malware that usually accompany them? i don't want to pay for something i will use only occasionally and harm my computer. robert.

Hi Robert, when you mention icons, do you mean the smiley faces and other things that you see in posts here on GameBoomers? If so, we can show you how to use them - there is nothing to download; they are available to you any time that you post.

hi Marian, those icons are not the ones i mean but as a Gameboomer, i will take a set please. they will come in handy. the icons i mean can be used for Myst. robert.

I'm not sure about the Myst icons, but the GameBoomers smileys are already there for you to use. When you go to post a note and have clicked on reply, look at the top lefthand corner of the reply screen and you will see a smiley face - click on that, and you will get a drop-down box full of smiley icons from which you can choose. You can click on one and then place it wherever you want in your reply.

Robert,

If you see icons you like on a site (like Gameboomers) that don't come as a set, you can just right click on the icon and save it to your computer.

If they do come as a set, download it and then run a check on the file with Malwarebytes and your antivirus program before you open it.

I have a number of icons and animated gifs I've downloaded one way or another (I seldom use them though I do stick one in an email on occasion) and I've never had a problem with malware attached.

But if I don't like the look of a site that offers them, I'm outta there.

Gil.

thank you Gil. robert.
