CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This free MSN Messenger enhancement tool offers some entertaining animations, but getting rid of it isn't as fun. Sweet IM places animated emoticons, winks, sounds, and nudges on a bar strategically placed beneath the standard winks bar in MSN Messenger sessions. An additional toolbar in Internet Explorer of animated emoticons for insertion into e-mails is also given. Interestingly, the toolbar also has IE tracks cleaning for cookies, caches, URLs, and search history. Links to SweetIM's search page, as well as to Google, Yahoo, and MSN, are conveniently placed on the bar. A mobile feature is also given, but it didn't work during our analysis. Sweet IM's emoticons can be seen on almost any e-mail transmittal, but its IM animations are only viewable by the recipient via a link unless they've installed the program. While there is an uninstall button on the toolbar to uninstall it, removing the bar from MSN Messenger is another story. Using Windows Add or Remove Programs doesn't uninstall the application; you'll need to manually get rid of its program files. Despite that drawback, MSN Messenger users will enjoy the attention-grabbing cartoons this software adds to IM conversations.Publisher's description
From Macrogaming :SweetIM is a fun upgrade for MSN Messenger, that adds animations (winks), emoticons (smileys), Sound FX, Audibles, and other cool content for free. SweetIM seamlessly integrates into your instant messenger environment but does not interfere with it.

- The recipient of the smileys or the winks has to have SWEETIM installed as well, otherwise it will NOT work.

Version: SweetIM 1.2a
Pros: But, I"musing it any more. Some security applications identify it as a "potentially unwanted program' or as "containing spyware traces". I don't believe it because I never had any issues at all. It does work with "Vista" regardless of the fact it doesn't say so here. When I found the website that has all the free winks for "Windows Live IM" it just became a program that wasn't no longer necessary to me.
Cons: I have no cons to offer.

Version: SweetIM 1.2a
Pros: Looks like it is a decent program with lots of emoticons to choose from, but ...
Cons: This doesn't work on Firefox. I thoroughly dislike working on Internet Explorer, so the program is not good enough to make me use IE in order to access the emoticons.
