18. Chat Encryption
The contents of your instant messages should remain between you and your chat
partner. By encrypting your conversations, you can make sure anyone trying to
intercept them on their way to and from your contacts will not be able to read their
contents.
By default, Acronis Internet Security encrypts all your instant messaging chat
sessions provided that:
● Your chat partner has a Acronis Internet Security product installed that supports
Chat Encryption and Chat Encryption is enabled for the instant messaging
application used for chatting.
● You and your chat partner use either Yahoo Messenger or Windows Live (MSN)
Messenger.
Important
Acronis Internet Security will not encrypt a conversation if a chat partner uses a
web-based chat application such as Meebo, or if one of the chat partners uses
Yahoo! and the other Windows Live (MSN).
To configure instant messaging encryption:
1. Open Acronis Internet Security, click Options in the upper-right corner of the
window and choose Expert View.
2. Go to Encryption > Chat Encryption.
Note
You can easily configure instant messaging encryption for each chat partner using
the
Acronis Internet Security toolbar in the chat window.
By default, Chat Encryption is enabled for both Yahoo Messenger and Windows Live
(MSN) Messenger. You can choose to disable Chat Encryption for a specific chat
application only or completely.
Two tables are displayed:
● Do not encrypt conversations with - lists the user IDs and the associated
instant messaging program for which encryption is disabled. To remove a contact
from the list, select it and click the
Remove button.
● All Current Connections - lists the current instant messaging connections (user
ID and associated IM program) and whether or not they are encrypted. A
connection may not be encrypted for these reasons:
▶ You explicitly disabled encryption for the respective contact.
