About Proteus

Proteus is a world class multi-protocol instant messaging client that supports multiple networks, keeping you in touch with the world no matter who you're chatting with. It was made freeware in recent years, following a long stint of shareware status and development has started on the next generation of IM clients, Proteus 5. The current build of Proteus, Proteus 4, still functions naturally and is customisable with numerous extras, downloadable from this site, meaning that you can get Proteus to look just how you like with little effort at all.

The source code for both Proteus 4 and Proteus 5 is openly available and we encourage people to keep up to date, just to see where the development stance. Of course, we are always looking for developers to help add to the Proteus code base, so pile in!
