What is ChatShield?
ChatShield is a plug-in for Windows Live Messenger which scans incoming and outgoing instant messages to ensure they have originated from a known, identity verified source. ChatShield offers protection for people using Instant Messenger by ensuring contacts are checked prior to chatting. The software works with the NetIDme service to automatically verify the messenger contacts “are who they say they are” and blocks communication if unknown, unverified or they fall outside the specified age restriction. You can download a free version from the ChatShield website. Click here to download ChatShield now.
