Editor's review of SweetIM

• "SweetIM"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: SweetIM 1.2a

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.

  "This version doesn't work with MSN Live 8"

  by EconomistBR on June 3, 2007

  Pros: -The smilyes are very pretty, nice and in 3D.

  ___________________________________________

  _

  -The winks and the sounds work as well.

  ___________________________________________

  _ -There is a lot of variety of everything.

  ___________________________________________

  _ -It works with MSN Messenger versions older than 8.0

  Cons: - This version doesn't work on Messenger MSN 8 Live. I had to download a new version that is not available here. I don't know if the new version is safe and clean. ___________________________________________

  _

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

  "It is a great add on."

  by Chainmail2006 on August 9, 2007

  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.

  "Doesn't work with Firefox!"

  by leagletwo on July 29, 2007

  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.

  "Internet Explorer would not open."

  by Sheila1957 on June 8, 2007

  Cons: I didn't like the program as it would not let Internet Explorer open for me. even after rebooting it still didn't work.... and I I found that it was SPY WARE Using SpyBot Search and Destroy. When I removed it from my computer then my Browser worked.
