24. Encryption
BitDefender offers encryption capabilities to protect your confidential documents
and your instant messaging conversations through Yahoo Messenger and MSN
Messenger.
24.1. Instant Messaging (IM) Encryption
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 if one of the chat partners uses Yahoo! and the
other Windows Live (MSN).
To configure instant messaging encryption, go to Encryption>IM Encryption in
Expert Mode.
Note
You can easily configure instant messaging encryption using the BitDefender toolbar
from the chat window. For more information, please refer to “Integration into Instant
Messenger Programs” (p. 278).
