RE: can existing log files be encrypted?
Only new logs created will be encrypted after you set encryption.

You can encrypt existing logs (and more) from the commandline with the logviewer application:

Results of run > "C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Log Viewer.exe" /?

Note: strings which contain spaces need to be inside quotes. eg:
"C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Log Viewer.exe" /encrypt="c:\my logs\contact1@hotmail.com.txt" /pwd="my password"


In this post you can find a bat file created by CookieRevised that decrypts all log files in a folder and its subfolders when run from inside that folder.

Edit: you're welcome :)
Edit2: to make things even more clear i added the full command to encrypt a log. Note: the full path/name to the to encrypt log needs to be specified (just like the full path needs to be entered to the event viewer app). If you use the parameter /overwrite an encrypted logfile with same name (with .ple extension) in same folder will be created, but when a file with that name already exist that one will be overwritten.
("C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Log Viewer.exe" /encrypt="c:\my logs\contact1@hotmail.com.txt" /pwd="my password" /overwrite).
