I imagine that many of the people here are familiar with Trillian, and many others may not be, so rather than detail it, here's the site

I suppose Im just wondering if my use of this program (I use the basic free version) could be a part of my security problems. I sometimes feel a bit vulnerable having five different accounts logged in through one program, but it seems to make a lot more sense than having five programs open at the same time, but maybe I'm just lazy.

The tough spot I'm in now is that I'm extremely spoiled on this program, and don't know if I could comfortably go back. The only major issue I have is not being able to transfer files with contacts using the "real thing" (not sure why), but this is far outweighed by the overall convenience and functionality of it, and all I have to do is briefly log in to the "real" software, or just email it to them to get past it.

I look foreward to anyones opinions of the program, and, if there are no severe risk issues (beyond those of any other instant mess. programs), then I highly recommend it to any and everybody who could make use of it.

Thanks for the opportunity to share my opinion, and thank you for the awesome service you provide to us lost sheep of the silicon desert.
