Is IMVU safe? and others...?

Question

Hello everyone out there
I have a few questions about the online chat IMVU
1. is it safe
2. does it contain viruses/spyware/trojans
3. does it slow down your computer alot
and last of all what exactly does it do?

Answer 1

I've used it a few times and I haven't encountered any problems. I scan my computer for viruses, trojans and spyware and nothing has come up to state that IMVU contains any Viruses, Spyware, Malware or Trojans. The only thing it might contain is some adware. But it appears to be harmless. It just displays when you load up the 3D IM of IMVU.
It might slow your computer down a little. But I'd be more concerned with Internet download bandwidth. As it is a Video IM and Video Applications that come through to you via the internet do take a lot of download space. That's not a good thing if you have a download limit like me. To your last question IMVU enables you to talk to your friends by using 3d created avatar that you create. You can use gestures and buy stuff for your avatar. It's all very geeky and it's a bit of a time waster. Plus it takes far too long to work out everything. Lastly you need a fairly powerful computer with a half decent graphics card so that it will run smoothly. It's a good program once you get past all the setup stuff, but you really need a lot of time on your hands. Something that I don't have right now.
I hope I was informative and of help.

Answer 3

It's safe and no spyware, etc. It can slow your computer while it's playing. basically it's a 3d chat in rooms you make with a character you create.
