What is ChatShield for Instant Messenger?
ChatShield will scan incoming and outgoing instant messages to ensure that they have originated from a known, identity verified source. ChatShield offers protection for people using Instant Messenger by ensuring that contacts are checked prior to chatting. The software works with the NetIDme service to automatically verify that the messenger contacts “are who they say they are” and blocks communication if unknown, unverified or they fall outside the specified age restriction.
