Version: Paltalk Messenger 9.1
"Claims to be "Spyware Free" but I disagree...GET TRILLIAN"
Cons: I used to use PalTalk all the time 4 years ago. However, there was no support for other chat clients so I stopped using it. I decided to give this one a go, but while installing my VirusScan and Anti-Spyware software went off like crazy. The problem? PalTalk trying to install adware on my PC. Just read the system requirements, PalTalk required Internet Explorer 5.0 TO DELIVER POP UPS! I immediately blocked all of PalTalk's access to the internet, and then removed it. Try Trillian instead. No ads, no spyware, no B/S.

Version: Paltalk Messenger 9.1
Pros: "The 20 foot effect..meaning when your looking at it from a far with few detail it looks great get a closer look and boom you wanna run!"
Pros: The sound quality was great and almost never any lag. (Even tested it on a dail up connection)
It does as it says but to an extent.
Cons: Cons: You have to pay for the video conferencing (which is free on similiar programs such as trillian etc)
The people are mainly from Europe for those who are american beware they are very rude to Americans..also this basic version (the trail requires a credit card) has limited use like I said the 20 ft effect.. I recommend you to download trillian I have had a nice encounter with it...this program however gives a who new meaning to the phrase "dont judge a book by its cover"...Silver winds
