ICQ

Pros: Good program that will let you do all sorts of things.
Cons: Home page takeover. Pop-ups. Safety issues.

ICQ is short for “I Seek You.” I would think it would be Internet Communication and something with Q I can’t come up with, but it’s more like those license plates where people get cute with the sounds of letters or the old joke where you ask your kid...

Pros: chat, saved lists, history
Cons: none

After being involved in computers for about a year, I came across this program that everyone I knew seemed to have. They called it "ICQ", and when I first heard of it, I thought it was some method, or game that tested how smart a person is or...

Pros: free and fast
Cons: my first account was EVIL!!!!

I've had ICQ for two years now and my thoughts about it are mixed. Icq is a quality instant messenger that has many many many people on it and had many great chatting features. It is also slow, annoying, and doesn't like me.

Like AOL Instant...

Pros: Advanced Features
Cons: SPAM, DIE SPAMMERS , DIE!!!

ICQ is one of my favorite Internet Chat and messengers but I definetly
would not give ICQ the nod for best Internet communicator, I would give that to a different Communicator. That's not to say that ICQ does not have its high points, but at the...

Pros: Free, easy to use, customizable colors.
Cons: Anyone can write to you, a fair amount of spam

ICQ.

There are several reasons that people use ICQ. A lot of people download it because "everyone is doing it"... Well, not everyone is doing it. A lot of people (I know quite a few myself) that just keep making accounts over...

Pros: Able to talk to your friends quickly when online or leave them messages quickly
Cons: Sometimes takes awhile to connect.. Messages get lost sometimes

I think I have been using ICQ since it came out...

ICQ is a is like having your own little chat program.. You can use it to chat with people you know or to leave them messages whenever you feel like it.... It's very easy to use and set up.....

Pros: Read the Review at the bottom
Cons: Read the Review at the bottom

Ah, the world of online chatting. For those people who can type quickly and in a coherent way online chatting is the perfect way to chat with friends and family in real time without the phone bill. For the rest of us who use the ol’ “Two Finger Typing...

Pros: Everybody's using it.
Cons: Spam, frequent crashes.

I was first introduced to online messengers back in 1996 having just recently discovered the internet. Online chat programs were relatively new back then, thus partly explaining their enormous popularity among us youngsters.It was such a phenomenon to...

Pros: user friendly, free, money-saving
Cons: sometimes freezes, kicks you out of "chat"

I have been using ICQ for over two years now. I will qualify my review by saying that aside from AOL's buddy chat/ Instant Message program, this is the only chat program I have used.

I live far away from my family and childhood friends, and...

Pros: many more features
Cons: messages from anyone and everyone

I like to talk to people online whether it be through email, IRC chat, or through instant messaging programs. I have tried several of these types of programs. I downloaded ICQ about 6 months ago shortly after the 2000 version came out. The download is...

Pros: Wonderful instant message program
Cons: The ads on messages!

I have been using ICQ since around 1995 so I have used a lot of different versions of this program (and until recently I wouldn't have been connected and not had it on). This program is great to be able to talk to new people and friends from school or...

Pros: Free and somewhat easy to use. The designers could use a lesson in simplicity.
Cons: Eats up a huge amount of system resources and takes time to load up.

I've been on ICQ since 1998 when I finally got the Internet at home. And I must admit that I have mixed feelings about this product I use so often.

ICQ is basically a glorified chat program where users login to chat with other users....

Pros: instant conversation
Cons: bloated, missed messages, spammers

I used to like ICQ, but unfortunately I just can't recommend it any longer.

When I was new to the internet (a few years ago), a few friends recommended ICQ to me. It was THE program to have. I could send a message to my friends, and receive a...

Pros: A lot less bloat than regular ICQ; updated interface.
Cons: Possible random Spamming.

ICQ. It's as ubiquitous as Yahoo!, AOL, and IRC.

A Brief History: ICQ was first released to the Internet in 1996 by a small start-up company in Israel called Mirabilis. ICQ was quickly...

Pros: Free, Many Features, Universal
Cons: User is vulnerable; Caution Must be taken

Several months ago I downloaded and installed the instant chat client ICQ, version 2000a. There are quite a few new features in this version, one of which makes you vulnerable to all ICQ users. Aptly called Web Aware, this features allows your...
