The key to using ICQ successfully...without it driving ya fucking nuts...is to get it configured correctly. I use ICQ and can't remember the last time I got spammed on it. Wish the hell I could say the same for my mail boxes
I've got mine set up to only accept messages from people on my list. AND set to show me in invisible mode at all times. What that means is that ONLY people I so choose can even see that I'm online
I'm using an older version of ICQ so doubt my menus would be the same as whatever version you've got. But, look for privacy settings...get yourself invisible...and only accepting messages from those on your list. It will help a ton
