A few Questions
Oct 6, 2005 3:02PM PDT

I used Yahoo messenger a couple years ago but due to computer problems, haven't used anything for quite a while. Now it's rebuilt and up to speed so I'm wondering what's best.

I've seen a lot of 'noise' about Windows Messenger but haven't paid attention. What's the beef(s) with it? How about Yahoo?

I do remember looking at Trillian and thinking it was a good way to go. How is SIP & XMPP different from this new one?

I'm also concerned about security. Could that still be an issue with updated Norton suite running.

Thanks for any help/suggestions.
