There certainly are security problems. The main 3 messengers getting targetted are ICQ, MSN, and Yahoo. They all have weaknesses.

I recommend you check out neworder.box.sk

+ it could improve and reduce the cost of communication of staff in the company

- it could open up the easy sharing of company information to the outside world.

= the good thing is there are enterprise LAN IMs that work for LAN only even without internet connection, and the conversations are even encrypted for the safety of confidential info.

PS. I like an IM called SST for Secure Shuttle Transport. You can download it from CNET.COM Download.
