Is your encryption weaker, or better than blowfish,
and is it a known encryption or did you make up your own ?
At first I was going to put Rijndael (I don't know if it's well written) It is the best encryption algorith atm, but I thougth it was too much for the pourposes of the plugin and I didn't want to implement it in VB because it whould be so slow. So I've developed one encryption based on the CRC-32 algorith that zip files use.
It's weaker than blowfish, so don't expect a high security, it's only to not send your messages in plain text. I also was planing do the plugin in VC++ but there were several reasos that i couldn't do. If one day I do it in VC++ or if I find a good dll (written in C/C++, or course) that encodes Rijndael, I'll change the encryption to it.

That isn't possible with plugins of Plus!. To do that a plugin for Messenger (not Plus) must be developed.
