20. Instant Messaging (IM) Encryption
By default, Acronis AntiVirus 2010 encrypts all your instant messaging chat sessions
provided that:
● Your chat partner has an Acronis product 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
Acronis AntiVirus 2010 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 easilyconfigure instant messagingencryption usingthe Acronis toolbar from
the chat window. For more information, please refer to “Integration into Instant
Messenger Programs” (p. 184).
