RE: Privacy
There are two ways that your conversations can be read if you're not keeping chat logs. Either using a keylogger or sniffing packets on the network.

To prevent the keyloggers, do regular virus/spyware scans like someone above said. And for the packet sniffing if you used one of the scripts that I posted in my last post. This would prevent your messages being sent in a very easily readible format across the network.

Whilst these methods would work. There are always problems. Such as your virus scanner not picking up the keylogger. Or the encryption being broken on the data being sent. These are quite unlikely though.

Good Luck,
David
