With ICQ you stay online with friends and acquaintances in contact. The free instant messaging service provides text chat, video chat, text messages and more. This version of ICQ runs on older Windows systems. The current runnable only under XP, Vista and Windows 7 version of ICQ 7 is here for download.
Heart of the software is the contact list: This window lists the own contacts with the current status, such as "online" or "Absent" on. Clicking on a name of the user launches private chats or conference conversations. Furthermore, transfers the software files to contacts and offers small online games. In addition, the software with skins can visually change.
Conclusion
ICQ is still one of the greats in the instant messenger team. Although the software does not really offer more than the competitors such as Windows Live Messenger , but scores with a large user base and a well-thought user interface. Only the constant on-screen advertising tarnishes the positive overall impression. With the Web App ICQ2Go you can also use ICQ without installation.
