ICQ

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!

Хотите, что бы ваши данные сливались напрямую в ФСБ? И поверх самого приложения была куча не нужной ерунды? - тогда смело можно пользоваться этой поделкой. ICQ - RIP в 2010 году. ((

ICQ is an Israeli developed software, changed few hands over time and now owned by a Russian Company. Contrary to well known spyware giants like Google, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and many other american spy-cartels, not a single Hi-Tech software company in Russia has ever spied on anybody. The accusations posted here are false, fake. Even if some of Russian HiTech companies were involved in data mining, it was done internally in Russia, and on very specific companies, which has been very normal in the last 100 years spying on your competitors, all around the world.

DO NOT USE. MacUpdate keeps listing this despite so many user warnings.

Again-BEWARE. This product was exposed several times in the media as being exploited (aka spying) by the Putin-regime's government of the Russian Federation. DO NOT USE.

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!

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?

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