It also provides the ability to add and communicate with AOL and AIM users. In addition, ICQ has recently introduced ICQ Phone, a new, low-rate way to make PC to Phone calls. ICQ Phone joins the multimedia feature set that includes ICQ Push-to-Talk, the ""walkie-talkie "" like service. ICQ also includes Xtraz which allow you to send personalized greeting cards, apply custom icons to your buddies, play online games, and customize your shortcuts panel for one-click access to all your favorite features.

ICQ Xtraz also supports the creation of new ICQ features that can be built separately from the core ICQ client and then delivered and automatically updated over time. The new interface is clean and intuitive, so you can start chatting quickly and easily. Users now have more options to customize ICQ 5.1's newly designed interface. ICQ tZers allow users to send short flash animations to their Contact List friends as well as newly designed boyz and girlz skins and emoticons to add more personality to their messages.

	Ashampoo IP Spam Blocker  License: Freeware
	A growing number of Internet users are complaining about a new kind of popup advertising windows that suddenly appear on their screens. This new kind of spam, known as "IP spam" or "net spam", is generated through the internal Windows® messaging service, which is actually a tool provided to enable network administrators to send messages to multiple users via the network. Advertisers are now increasingly abusing this service by sending messages to large blocks of random IP addresses via the Internet. If you are online with an IP address that happens to be included in the block the message will suddenly appear on your screen if the Windows® messaging service is active on your computer. The service is activated by default on Windows® 2000 and Windows® XP. This little tool enables you to just switch off the messaging service, getting rid of these annoying advertising messages forever! This tool is only for Windows® NT, 2000 and XP, you can't use it to switch off the messaging service under Windows® 95, 98 or Me. Author: ashampoo GmbH & Co. KG| Date: 28-03-2003 | Size: 409 KB
