IMSecure

Has anyone used Zone Labs' IMSecure? I've used their ZoneAlarm firewall, which works well. I was just wondering if anyone has used their IM security program yet.

Haven't tried the security program...what messengers does it work with? All or only some of them?

It works with all of the major programs like AIM, MSN Messenger, and Yahoo! Messenger. But, I'm not sure if it works with the alternative ones like Trillian.

For more info:

It comes in free and pro versions like ZoneAlarm

The product information says that it is compatible with universal IM applications, like Trillian

Probably just does the same thing IMencrypt (www.aimencrypt.com). Why pay money when it's free there? <<---

Zone Alarm is a more high-end package; IMSecure is a minimal feature. Why download a 20mb+ package when it's for less then a meg at aimencrypt?

Observe all sides before insulting someone.

Where was anyone insulted? The keyword was "free".

This was not mentioned until now. One problem with that, though. IMsecure (free)is only 2.51MB, not 20MB+. Still it is a good point, if you only want to secure AIM. IMSecure covers any messenger program.

Shadowcrest...the security of AIM Encrypt has been questioned. Considering everyone using the same cert, how secure is it? Not very. You get what you pay for.
