Safe, Trusted and Spyware Free
These days many of us are very often far away from home or work. To stay in touch with everybody is as important, as the air we breath. This review is about the free for download QIP program, which is another instant chat and voice messenger like Skype, Yahoo and MSN. Those of you, who already have been using ICQ will recognize it in the QIP face. The similarity is obvious and of course the functionality.
Features
- Chat and voice instant messenger
- File transfer
- SMS sending option
- Plug-in support
- 10 interface languages
- Many possible log-in ways
QIP takes only 29 MB of your total free hard disk space. It is made by Russian developers, but it is translated to 10 other languages - most of them very popular in Europe. Optionally users can download more if their language is not listed yet. If you have already a cell phone, e-mail, ICQ, Facebook or Twitter account, you can use it to log in. Any PC, which runs on Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7 or 8 can support this free program. Users can download and install free plug-ins in addition to the four, which come with this software.
Interface
QIP has a well designed for an instant messenger interface. The free of adds program window can be filled in with the plug-ins, which this program supports. On the top, like the others in this category, is the user account info. Next to it is the options button, which opens a drop-down menu, from where some features can be enabled and the Preferences reached. Next are displayed the default plug-ins, which come with the program. Then all the contacts are listed and can be organized in any possible way. At the bottom are placed the buttons for the voice calls, SMS messenger and the QIP store. The size of the app's window can be re-sized freely and placed anywhere on the screen. Also there is a Compact mode, from where some of the panels can be turned off.
Basic Operations
All starts with the log-in page. QIP offers many ways to do that, if you do not want to create another account. To dock the free interface window to the left, or the right screen edge you have to click on the settings button and then Dock to the screen edges and select the side you want. Once the Preferences window is displayed any user will be lost for a while. QIP has so many things to set, change and add, that we would spend a day to list them here. Some of them are transparency rate, auto-hide, status mode, user interface color and language, shortcuts, plug-ins, connections, accounts and many many more...
Conclusion
QIP is the replacement of the ICQ. Both are very similar in functions and interface. And different with some other aspects. The additional plug-ins and fully customizable preferences may please even the most crotchety and freakish users from any point of the world. And at the same time connect them and make friends forever. Who knows?
Pros

- Multi language support
- Fully functional free version
- Different skins option
Cons
