    Please read Aker's review (below), he's absolutely right. Let me quote part of his review:
    "Digsby is a client that started on a noble path and later morphed into the ad-driven mess it is today. Upon install, you must click through what seems like an infinite number of adware installers, unselect them, and finally get to the actual application you downloaded in the first place".
    I agree 100%

    Just to set Halc's reply straight.. The installer for digsby does come with options to install various pieces of crapware but its perfectly safe to click decline on everyone and digsby will work just fine..

    Digsby gets paid whether you install them or not.

    I REPEAT IT IS STRICTLY USER ERROR IF THIS CRAPWARE GETS INSTALLED. IT IS NOT DIGSBY's FAULT.

    Definitely the best multi-protocol IM client out there. I switched from Pidgin to Digsby last year and couldn't be happier. It blows the rest out of the water.

    FYI...sometimes the problem comes from the user not the program. In this case, its the user. This program is fine. There is no ADs in the program itself (unlike AIM), only in the installer and if your to lazy to bypass (uncheck) them. Then thats your problem. I don't see an issue with this program. Its fast, smooth and easy to use and yes there is an alternative downloader to bypass the ADs completely like artfuldodga said. Just try b4 u assume anything. Good DAY to you all!!
