I've lost my smilies!

On my work computer I had Smilie Central installed and it perked up my emails no end but when I tried to upgrade the package today I lost the lot! I realise that my company has obviously updated the security package and that is why I can't reinstall it, but it was harmless enough in my opinion - so my question is is there any way I can bypass the security and get my smilies back?

    Ok I'm taking on board what you're saying, can you tell me then, is there any free package that I can install that might be allowed?

    I dont know of any apart from saving smileys and inserting as a picture but dont bother anyway.

    Why? you may ask.

    Because some recipients especially another business can have software that will scan an email for pictures or animations and delete the email befoe its downloaded to outlook or outlook express or any other email program they may be using, because viruses can be embedded into pictures and animations.
