28. Integration into Instant Messenger Programs
BitDefender offers encryption capabilities to protect your confidential documents
and your instant messaging conversations through Yahoo Messenger and MSN
Messenger.
By default, BitDefender encrypts all your instant messaging chat sessions provided
that:
⚫ Your chat partner has a BitDefender version installed that supports IM Encryption
and IM 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
BitDefender will not encrypt a conversation if a chat partner uses a web-based
chat application, such as Meebo, or another chat application that supports Yahoo
Messenger or MSN.
BitDefender Toolbar
You can easily configure instant messaging
encryption using the BitDefender toolbar from
the chat window. The toolbar should be
located in the bottom-right corner of the chat
window. Look for the BitDefender logo to find
it.
Note
The toolbar indicates that a conversation
is encrypted by displaying a small key
next to the BitDefender logo.
By clicking the BitDefender toolbar you are provided with the following options:
⚫ Permanently disable encryption for contact.
⚫ Invite contact to use encryption. To encrypt your conversations, your contact
must install BitDefender and use a compatible IM program.
