This was once the best Instant Messenger available, sadly no more. It Upon installation of this version of ICQ it informed me that it would also install the ICQ search toolbar in my browsers. This was easy enough to uninstall but it also changed the home page of the browser to ICQ Search. This is also easy to change back to my preferred homepage but is also a pain in the butt for the end user. The installation of the ICQ Search Toolbar and the home page can be customized but it is not an obvious option as you have to click on a link to get to these options. It would have been better if the developer's of ICQ had placed these options up front where they could be easily found. New in this release: Facebook™ Chat, Multi Chat, Feeds from Friends, Email & Notifications, Picture Sharing, SMS Tab, and more. More info-ICQ, Inc.
