First illegal copies of Trillian Astra circulate on the Internet. Some of them seem to be infected with a trojan horse. Ceruleanstudios warnsnot to install these illegal copies.

But even when you ignore the security risk, installation of a cracked Astra version doesn't make sense, as many of the new features require access to the Astra network. So you can only use them when you have an account. Not officially accepted testers won't be able to use most of Trillian Astra. You can still apply for the alpha test at trillianastra.com. A group of new testers is added every friday.
