Best IM integrator (Skype, AOL, MSN, etc)

Can anyone suggest the best integrator of popular IM platforms? I need
Skype, MSN, Yahoo and hopefully AOL. Don't need video or audio but if that
is compatible too, so much the better. Especially audio. By integrator I
mean I want to run 1 program that will interface with Skype, MSN, Yahoo and
AOL.

Greetings,

If you need Skype, as far as I know, the only real game in town right now is Trillian Astra
(http://www.trillian.im/).

To be honest, they all have pros and cons, there really is no "does it all amazingly"
application like there is in other areas?

Re: Best IM integrator (Skype, AOL, MSN, etc)

I need some help in removing the program from Cerulean Studios. I downloaded the Trillian 3.1.12.0 IM version and want to remove it. I tried the uninstall program but still have the program in my C:. I get the warning that I dont have permission. Is there a good software removal tool I can use? I tried item by item but to no avail. I went to their web site and followed the advise on how to remove the program and that failed.

I was able to remove it with system restore, along with removing the folders by deleting. Don't know why it didn't let me do it the first time, system restore must have something to do with it. Thanks, the problem is solved and perhaps this will help someone else.
