26. Integration into Instant Messenger Programs
Acronis AntiVirus 2010 offers encryption capabilities to protect your confidential
documents and your instant messaging conversations through Yahoo Messenger
and MSN Messenger.
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 another chat application that
supports Yahoo Messenger or MSN.
Acronis Toolbar
You can easily configure instant messaging
encryption using the Acronis toolbar from the
chat window. The toolbar should be located in
the bottom-right corner of the chatwindow. Look
for the Acronis logo to find it.
Note
The toolbar indicates that a conversation is
encrypted by displaying a small key next
to the Acronis logo.
By clicking the Acronis 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 Acronis AntiVirus 2010 and use a compatible IM program.
