It's just great. I may even say it's "essential". Most adress books have thousands of applications and functions, this one is so simple that it's perfect (reminds me of a mobile phone adress-phone book). The idea is names, adress, phone numbers and e-mails-urls. It has a search function which is really basic (not that good), but the fact that it runs independntly as a portable app is just sweet. Load the tiny exe and your dat file into your usb memory stick and carry your phone numbers anywhere you go. Oh... u may also use a cool background image easily. The only bad thing is that it is so simple, u can easily "accidentally" delete information too, so be careful since it doesn't ask if "you are sure".... hmmm. OOOH and changing information may be a bit tricky, but besides that....free, simple, portable, small... just perfect. A perfect tool even for your grandma's knowledge about computer software. I call it, "adress book for dummies".

i just tried it on VISTA and it works perfectly too.

So I cannot even download this app :(

Anybody else experienced the same? Any mirror? I really would like to download and try it... Surely a false positive!

WhatATw@ on 2011-06-01 09:50

You are stammering Monsieur.

Chris on 2011-06-01 12:31

@spicydog: ESET has long detected one of the installers on that site (dssfv_setup.exe) as a virus. I have notified them on a number of occasions that it is a false positive (based on scans of that file from Jotti's, VirSCAN.org and VirusTotal), but with no result. It would seem as though they have now blocked the entire domain. All you can do is to lodge a job with ESET support. The website hasn't been updated in a long time, but if the webmaster was still around, if you could get them to lodge a job as well, that would help.

(I no longer use ESET myself so the problem no longer affects me)

It provides capabilities not possible with the original clients, while supporting standard features such as audio chat, file transfers, group chats, chat rooms, buddy icons, multiple simultaneous connections to the same network, server-side contact importing, typing notification, direct connection (AIM), proxy support, encrypted messaging (AIM/ICQ), SMS support, and privacy settings.

How to extract:
  1. Download the installer and install to the default folder (C:\Program Files\Trillian) and launch the program
  2. When you see the "Welcome to Trillian!" window, choose "Trillian Basic"
  3. When you will see the "Your Identity Information" window, click "Cancel"
  4. Trillian should exit after creating the basic default profile information
  5. Copy all files from the installation folder into a folder of your choice and uninstall the program
  6. Load the following configuration files into a text editor:
    • trillian.ini
    • users\global\plugins.ini
    • users\default\plugins.ini
    • users\default\talk.ini
    • users\default\trillian.ini
  7. Replace all absolute paths with relative ones by replacing "C:\Program Files\Trillian" with "." (e.g. C:\Program Files\Trillian\skins\Whistler --> .\skins\Whistler)
  8. Save all edited files
  9. Right-click the items and select "Properties" and check the "Read Only" box -- this is to prevent Trillian from reverting them back to absolute paths
  10. Launch trillian.exe

Upgrade (via loading trillian and autoupdate feature) to 3.1.10 (may 2008) unsucessful. Had to manually reinstall and re portable it. Successfully did so (Copied entire directory to portable trillian folder and replaced all but kept read-only files. Seems to be running fine. Trillian 3.1.10 ready for use.
PFC might want to reshoot it again to make sure

It still connects to their website even if i check off updates/anonymous statistics/important news. Despite this i find this to be the most user friendly chat client i've ever used.

see this forum discussion (http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=8489&hilit=trillian) concerning v5.x
