Pidgin Portable 2.6.2

Pidgin Portable 2.6.2 is such an effective program which provides the versatile Pidgin instant messaging client packaged as a portable app, so you can take your IM settings and buddy lists with you.

It has all the same great features as Pidgin, including support for AOL, Yahoo, MSN, ICQ and Jabber networks, but there's nothing to install on the local PC. You can also easily add portable encryption plugins for secure, encrypted messaging.

Versions 2.6.0 and 2.6.1 introduce support for Google Talk and Google Voice under XMPP, file transfer for Yahoo, creates a unified Buddy Pounce notification window for clients where the Pounce is a pop-up, and more than 99 other bug- and stability-fixes. Note that the Google Voice and Talk support only works currently on Linux distros.

Major Features:

1. Pidgin Portable is a multi-protocol instant messaging client that works with AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ, MSN Messenger, Yahoo! and more. You can log into multiple networks all with the same program. All your IM settings and buddy lists are self-contained, so it leaves no personal information behind on the machine you run it on.
2. Pidgin Portable supports the two most popular encryption plugins for Pidgin. Both are packaged as portable installers that automatically work with Pidgin Portable. You can install Pidgin-Encryption 3.0  and/or Pidgin-OTR 3.2  and communicate securely with other users.
3. Users of Windows 98 and Me can get Pidgin Portable working on their machines by following the steps outlined in the Running on Windows 98/Me support topic.

Requirements: Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7.
