    Why would they update this? the new Trillian ASTRA has been released already, and sucks a bit less than this one.

    I haven't used this program in a long time, load times where horrible and it seemed to suck resources over time.
    Decided to give it a spin again. This time during installing there was an option to install the ask.com toolbar, only fools install that crap and even bigger fools offer it. So I unchecked it and guess what it still installed the ask.com toolbar. Just to make sure it wasn't a mistake on my end I installed it on a clean system while running a screen recorder, again ask.com was installed despite the fact that I unchecked the box. Triple checked this by watching the recorded video of my screen, yep I unchecked it.

    So trillian is going into my crap list again. Maybe in a few years I'll try again but pigdin for me.

    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!
