A huge no-no! This is screaming at any user: SPYWARE! The Russian government has been shown in the press to be using this application to spy on businesses and private communications of 'important' people. DO NOT INSTALL!

Version 3.0.22949

Nobody with any level of responsibility should be installing Russian or Chinese applications, it's far too dangerous. MacUpdate should help us in this regard by indicating (as best as possible) the country of origin associated with software listings.

Agreed. This is dangerous to use. MacUpdate has ignored these warnings to-date.

first of all, it was originally developed in Israel in 1996, and became the first online chat application and extremely popular. There was no Google and nothing really like that yet. Later it was acquired by AOL, and in 2010 by Digital Sky Technologies, which later changed its name Mail.Ru Group, or Mail.Ru. It's a top email service provider in Russia. And you better fear of Google and FB, they're the ones who control you, follow you everywhere you go online. Mail.ru never did what these evils keep doing.

Dp-G4450...Putin is a highly intelligent man, who would never go down to the level of big mouth Trump, and he is not going anywhere.

MACUPDATE ADMINS - considering how this app was mentioned in several newpaper stories of being used by the Putin regime to track/spy - shouldn't this be declared malware and just banned?

Version 3.0.18608

Isn’t surprising to see applications (once ‘programs) fall behind the startng point at their birth, like Skype (now a not funny joke, compared at what was version 2.8)and this one, or fallen in the oblivion of a fulgid past, like Yahoo, the total disaster and failure caused by a heap of bigots who were fighting any kind of acquaintance between users (like NOW icq (I will write it again caoitalized when it will DESERVE it!) and Skype, leaving to Facebook the monopole of the socials? Now the name itself lost totally its original meaning because, even if You Seek Him,… you will never FIND him, now that any search between users is impossible! By the way, even here nobody cares about this 'fake-ICQ', such a shame for who is already disgusted by Skype's lost of any dignity!

Facebook chat???? I don't think so; there is no way to add a Facebook contact like on Trillian!

Version 3.0.13754

I've been using this app for a very long time.

Can you remember when there were profiles carefully filled up and researchable?
We could not just ''seek you' but also FIND you.
Same for Skype, worst for the died chats (Yahoo, MSN, AIM...) and the socials, now dominated by Facebook property dictatorship.
Nothing against the good boy Zuckenberg but fact is that politics thrusted its nails in any way common people could have a free dialogue, from China to u.s.a., which (like any other dictatorship, not only the islamists countries ) pretends to defend us from terrorism but in cact defends itself from any criticism, like the middle age catholic church.
Internet was a dream of freedom and dialogue above the borders and distances, became a jail with cells full of hidden microphones spying us and a new kind of first radio, then television to manipulate we common people!

Considering the danger of the Russian gov't implementing malware via this app, like NoPeyta, I would suggest to the MacUpdate administrators that they remove the listing for this product.

Not only ICQ is now under Russian control, it is the primary method by which Command and Control instructions are sent and received in a malware or rootkit process. Don't install on a Mac if you don't want to be the target of these nefarious deeds.

Well, better Russians than N.S.A., isn't it?
Anyway: is there some FACTS or is it the typical paranoid 'patriotic' Trump-fan claim?

From experience. ICQ has been used for C&C within WordPress/WordPress extension security exploits.

@ GianMarco-Tavazzani said, "Well, better Russians than N.S.A., isn't it?"

No.

GianMarco-Tavazzani: "Anyway: is there some FACTS or is it the typical paranoid 'patriotic' Trump-fan claim?"

How does he sound like a "paranoid 'patriotic' Trump-fan?" Trump fans are Pro-Russian Meddling.

- what is WRONG with you? or are you a Russian meat-bot put on MacUpdate to dispute when apps are identified as malware?
