    or download trillian from

    http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/

    gives you all major message formats in one program... icq, yahoo, msn, irc, aim and it is free [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img]


    Tried to download from this link but it redirected me to cnet. I WILL NOT download anything from there as ALL the programs you dowmload from that site are infected with spyware!

    Been there, done that, and got a re formatted hard disk to prove it!!

    CNET / download.com is just a file warehouse driven by advertising banners.

    They distribute files that the authors upload and update for nothing and sell the advertising on the banners you see when you download a product. They dont package or manipulate any package you may download from them, they would have been out of business years ago if they did.

    I dont doubt you may have downloaded a program with bugs from them once but that has nothing at all to do wih cnet or trillian.

    trillian contains no spyware.
    i installed it, scanned it and tried it before recommending it.

    the free version has a tick box you can leave ticked or untick that says you will allow them to track which message formats you use but that is as far as it goes from my investergation.

    enabling msn and yahoo opens your machine to the usual worms that infest those message networks, that isnt trillions fault, and if you use a DECENT antivirus program you wont have a problem at all.[/b][/quote]

    I have no doubt at all as to the program from trillian you are reccomending and will download it if I can download it from their own site. However I have downloaded programs from Cnet some of which were very good but some were "tweaked or spiked" is what one of my friends in the game said. He also said it happens to some programs from them. I may have been a bit over the top in saying that they are all tweaked. This would be a physical impossibality.
    I do have a up to date antivirus program, and since having to re format my hard disk due to a some type of a spyware program that down loaded a VERY recent virus (that since is dected by virus programs) I have no fewer than four anti spyware programs running. What one does not catch, another does.

    If you are offended by my comments, this was not my intention, I can only base my opinion on what I have gone through and the reasons given by the experts who delivered their opinion on my problems. I could have had the infomation on my hard disk recovered at a price of about $700 or just start again from scratch which is what I did.

    i took no offense at what you said, just wanted to clear up the miss information about the cnet / download.com site.

    like i said cnet is just a file warehouse, they dont alter 3rd party files at all .. and would have been sued out of existance years ago if they did.

    any computing professional that suggests they do has been out in the sun to long.

    i can not recall one recent virus or trojan that screws with your filesystem to the point that it creates that level of heartache.

    running multiple realtime / background virus scanners and trojan blockers at once can cause that heartache though.

    most so called spyware and trojan programs themselves are trojans that is why microsoft only recommend two, but then again microsoft recommend nortons and mcafee for virus prevention and they cause more harm on many systems than any virus can ... go figure... it's a real minefield ..... i agree.

    please make the effort to change to this chat option as the onsite option will be vanishing shortly as it consumes too much bandwidth
