Can somebody tell me what's the difference between ICQ & ICQ lite?

Coz I had to install ICQ 2003 to so that I could configure it to get past my Linksys router firewall & receive & send files.

Does it have adware & spyware in it?

Cheers

Jim

    The full one doesn't have spyware. It's just more bloated and takes a little longer to load/use/shutdown.

    Imo, Sending/Receiving Files isn't restricted to the client. I had troubles with Aim's Direct Connect, so I chose to use Trillian (pro2) instead. It turned out that I needed to get some ports forwarded on my Befw11 Wireless router.

    Just use Trillian, and don't worry about it...
