It’s a web messenger that lets you access IM from absolutely anywhere. meebo supports msn, yahoo, aol/aim, google talk (gtalk), jabber and icq.

What is https? https is known as “Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer”, but now https may be secured by the Transport Layer Security (TLS) instead of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.

To invoke https, we simply replace “http://” with “https://” in the Uniform Resource Locator (url), or Web address. https connections are often used for payment transactions on the Web and for sensitive transactions in corporate information systems.

By using https (https://www.meebo.com) instead of http (http://www.meebo.com), all the data is encrypted and protected for additional security. You can try it.  :)

If you are using Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000 Service Pack (SP3) or later, or Windows Millenium Edition (Me), Automatic Updates delivers updates to your computer automatically, so that’s the easiest and most reliable way to make sure that you get new security and other high-priority updates as soon as they become available. If you use Windows 2000 SP2 or earlier, Windows 98, Windows 95, or Windows NT Workstation 4 you can go to Windows Update for the latest security updates.

    Always download the latest antispyware and antivirus updates, and then scan your computer right away. Use a firewall and keep your operating system updated with the latest security updates, and use both antivirus and antispyware programs. The newer version of security software called internet security suite contains firewall, antivirus and antispyware: 3-in-1. Examples: Trend Micro Internet Security, AVG Internet Security, kaspersky internet security, Panda internet security.
