In addition to my normal work as top editor of the ZDNet and CNet download sites, I have another, related life -- book author. My latest tome is a guide to the great instant messaging program, ICQ , entitled Teach Yourself ICQ in 24 Hours.

As you can tell, I'm a big fan of ICQ . And if you're as a big fan as I am, you want to get the most out of it. So I've gathered three great pieces of software from ZDNet Downloads to power up ICQ and make it more fun and productive for you.

ICQ Plus lets you completely alter the way the program looks -- you can use skins, create your own skins, change how the buttons and borders look and in general bend the program to your will.(Shareware/Win95-98-NT) Click for more.

ICQ Surf lets you group chat while you surf the Web. Head to a Web page, and you'll be able to chat with other ICQ Surf users who are there. (Shareware/Win95-98-NT) Click for more.

Rescue for ICQ backs all your contacts and other information and makes it easy to recover and restore it all if you system goes down. And it makes it easy to install ICQ to a new computer, complete with your Contact List and more. (Shareware/Win95-98-NT) Click for more.

So whether you're a newbie to the program, or a long-time ICQ fan, check out these three files -- they'll let you work with ICQ in new ways and have fun while you're doing it.

P.S. If you need help, I've linked the Easy Download Guide in the sidebar. For more of my favorite downloads, be sure to bookmark our Killer Downloads page. Click for more.
