Download Trillian 3.1.6.0

Trillian is a multi-protocol instant messaging client for Windows. It allows messages to be exchanged through various im networks, such as MSN, Yahoo, AIM, ICQ and IRC. The program is released in two flavors, namely Basic and Pro. The Basic flavor is free and contains all the standard components you would expect from an im program. The Pro variant sells for around 25 dollars and contains more options, such as support for video chat, Jabber, Novell GroupWise Messenger, Rendezvous and the use of plugins. A complete overview of the differences between the two flavors is on this page to admire. The developers recently released version 3.1.6.0 with the following announcement:

Special thanks to both the ZDI and iDefense teams for their assistance in reporting and resolving these issues; we’ve worked with a handful of vulnerability research firms in the past, and I can happily say that these folks are both top-notch researchers and extremely professional. We look forward to continuing our relationship with them both to ensure we bring you the most secure and error-free software possible![break]
