CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Instant messaging is one of the Net's true killer applications, but the proliferation of incompatible programs can be a hassle. This software bundles connections to most of the big IM networks in a single package, so users can talk to buddies on Yahoo, MSN, Jabber, AIM, ICQ, and IRC through the same program. We found the compact, simple interface refreshing, and appreciated the small amount of system memory consumed. It offers a wide variety of options relating to notifications, icons, and the contact list. However, it does not save settings and contacts online, which makes the program far less attractive for people who use several computers. Nor does it support smilies, an integral part of chat communication. Despite these drawbacks, Universal Messenger could be a useful way to streamline IM use for people who are on multiple networks, and who aren't too concerned about a program's looks.Publisher's description

Version: Universal Messenger Plus 1.0.3
"VIRUS, SPYWARE FREE FOR YOU BABY!!!!"
Pros: Pros? Only if you like your computer full of TROJANS, VIRUSES, SPY-WARES, and AD-WARES. This program also comes with a wonderful feature: LIVE IN YOUR COMPUTER UNTIL you decide to FORMAT your HARD-DRIVE. If you like this then... Yeaaaa, baby! A lot of pros!!!
Cons: Talking seriously: This program is an insult. DO NOT INSTALL IT IN YOUR COMPUTERS. Notify to your friends in that way they don't be victims of these people. These program is a high security issue for your computer.

"This program never worked properly on my Vista System"
Pros: It was supposed to work like Trillian and combine all the messengers into one
Cons: It never did what it promised to do and never functioned properly on my Vista System
Summary: It's not worth your time to download
