The application for instant messaging, which has no native protocol, but is able to work as ICQ-client, Jabber-client, AOL and other. It may be achieved due to the modular structure of an application with the support of numerous add-ons.
ICQ client
Free ICQ client is a freeware instant messaging software that works via the OSCAR protocol. At the moment there are a lot of applications working under this protocol. Many of these messengers (eg Mail.Ru Agent or QIP 2012) work with this protocol in addition to their own ones, thus expanding the range of its users.
This page presents one of such free apps that can successfully replace the original ICQ-client and practically any client for instant messaging with help of plug-ins.
