Already announced with a broader compatibility for the networks third (AIM, GTalk and ICQ in addition to Yahoo! Messenger) or the access to API for the whole of the editors, WLM 9 also introduced a directed functionality safety already implemented into the first beta release in order to fight against the SPIM, Spam over Urgent Messaging.
