if you wanna voice chat, then I 'd say best is Y!

Second that. Trillian integrates msn, yahoo, aol, icq and irc into it.

Something to read about Messenger Plus :

Messenger Plus! Extension is designed to add functionalities to MSN Messenger. Among the added features is chat logging, personalized Away messages and a boss key that allows instant minimizing of all open messenger windows. In addition, you can turn of the MSN ads that are displayed in the standard messenger as well as the MS Money toolbar and some other things. The handy QuickText feature allows you to quickly insert frequently used text into a message window. For parents, a parental watchguard can be enabled to log messages with certain, offensive keywords. The program smoothly integrates into the existing interface and adds a Plus menu item.

Offers to install sponsored version (optional)

Don t use this program. It s infected with a spyware programm called lop. For those who choose to support me by installing the optional sponsor program, the setup file is placed in C:\Program Files\C2Media and it s only purpose is to allow proper uninstallation of the sponsor program if you want to remove it at some point. (from the msn plus faq). If you go to http://www.cexx.org/adware.htm or http://www.doxdesk.com/parasite/ or http://www.spywareinfo.com/articles/lop/ ( Lop.com has become one of the most hated names on the internet. All over cyberspace, from message boards to newsgroups to IRC chat rooms I ve seen people begging for help in getting rid of this annoying software. start of the article at spywareinfo). When you do install the program, disable the default tick I agree to install the sponsor . It s my opinion that Webattack (which I value very highly) should not harbour programs which could install spyware. At least the visitor should be warned, imo. Satori

Since I installed Messenger Plus! on my computer I noticed advertisement programs, why?


Messenger Plus! now comes with an optional sponsor program. This program will show ads from time to time on your computer and will change your start page in Internet Explorer. In NO case this sponsor is mandatory. If you don't want it, simply uncheck the sponsor box during setup. If you installed it be error, just uninstall Messenger Plus! (which will trigger the sponsor uninstall program) and reinstall without the sponsor.

Important: if you wish to get rid of the sponsor program, you must uninstall Messenger Plus! from the usual Add/Remove program window. Don't worry, you'll be able to reinstall it later and chose not to install the sponsor anymore. If you start deleting files on your own you will prevent a full system restore as some of the files copied by the sponsor are backups of your original configuration files. For detailed instructions, check out special posts on the forum.

Nice program but i don't want adds on my pc.

For a second, I thought you were serious until I saw that you were joking.

Well, I think MSN (with Messenger Plus) and Yahoo are the best
