Trillian is a multi-network chat client that currently supports IRC, AIM, ICQ, MSN, and Yahoo! Messenger. It supports all of the features you've come to expect from a good IM client, including but not limited to docking, multi-line edit boxes, buddy alerts, multiple connections to the same medium, a powerful skinning language, easy importing of your existing contacts, skinnable emoticons, logging, "global" away/invisible features, and a unified contact list. It is completely free with no nag screens or built-in ads.

If there is one thing we have learned, it's not to push/rush a product to be released because that almost always ends up with more bugs or a crappy product. Microsoft has fallen behind, Symantec etc. Although we all have our opinions on those companies too ;)
I've been with Trillian since the 2.x days and I'm currently a beta tester for Astra. My biggest issue with Trillian 3.x was the load time. My god it took forever. Astra is almost instant. You also can goto Astra's website: http://www.trillian.im and IM from that if your work doesn't allow IM programs. There are a lot of fixes, enhancements, improvements for the upcoming Astra. We are currently at Beta Build 94 and have opened up beta testing to more.
If you like a FULL featured program, astra will be the one, otherwise Pidgin is next in line.

I always gave this a somewhat negative review. Mainly because yahoo msgr never worked. Now everything works. Icq, aim, msn and yahoo all work well. Plus there email srvc work also here. Been using this for 3 days. No probs. This is definetly a keeper.

Best IM client around. It support most of the popular protocols, has JUST THE RIGHT amount of options (and not overwhelming amount, unlike Miranda, for instance), it looks great, has a HUGE selection of smileys, supports encryption by default (it has to be trillian on the other end, BUT it's the same deal with any other client).
And v4 is even cooler - simply amazing!

Great application, however they need to be a little more proactive on bug fixes.
Also, this software DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY ADWARE. Betanews, please correct this. It's simply free'-ware".
