    Was good years ago now it's not there are other free smaller (open source) & none ad based programs that do the job as well.

    Aside from becoming adware, it's horribly bloated now. It's used to be the mother of all IM apps because of the ease of bringing multiple Im's together into one place, but there are several other out now that are TRULY free. multi IM capable, and even portable (USB key anyone) Check out Miranda or Pidgin.

    Trillian was a great concept, but sadly, now over reaching.
    2 for posterity, and -3 for bloat, ads, and plain old "over it"

    Most of my contacts are on MSN Messenger, but a few are on Yahoo or ICQ. I give Trillian 5 stars for the convenience of replacing these individual IM apps with a single (smaller footprint) app, but deduct a star since it is not perfect. There are odd problems that crop up from time to time. Not sure if these are regressions due to the frequent releases or new issues due to the fact that these IM services are a moving target. Whatever the cause, the few severe issues that I have experienced over the years have been fixed quickly.

    I've used MSN / Live for years every day without ad's or issues, what people use this piece of junk for I have no idea.
