Bopup Messenger 5.6.2

Thanks to the internet we can easily communicate with one another in real-time. This is mostly done via messenger applications, like Yahoo! Messenger or Windows Live Messenger. But what if you do not have access to the internet? What if all you have is a local network, with limited or restricted access to the internet? How do you communicate with others on the network in real-time?

Why you use the right piece of software of course. And the right piece of software in this situation is the B-Labs Software-developed Bopup Messenger. This application, as its name so adequately points out, is a messenger. Unlike Yahoo! Messenger for example, it doesn’t need an internet connection; it works over the local network, making it a good choice for office environments where people need to communicate but don’t necessarily need access to the internet.

Here are Bopup Messenger’s main features:
- Send messages to individuals or groups
- Send files to other people in the network
- Send offline messages
- Schedule outgoing messages
- Log all messages and file transfers
- Manage user permissions
- Manage status

As a former security news editor, I have to say I appreciate how Bopup Messenger handles data transfers. Bopup Messenger uses strong encryption algorithms to encrypt messages and file transfers, thus ensuring data transfer is done in a safe and secure manner.

Before you go get Bopup Messenger and put it to the test, take a look at the technical details presented below:
Download – the download weighs in at 1.8MB, which is good news. It means that even if you have to contend with a lousy internet connection, it will only take a moment to get Bopup Messenger off the web and onto your computer.
Supported OS – at the time of writing this and according to the developer, Bopup Messenger provides support for Windows 98, ME, NT 4.0, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, and Windows 7.
Limitations – you can use Bopup Messenger free of charge for a trial period of 30 days.

Bopup Messenger is an easy to use, feature rich and best of all secure messenger that you can use on your local network. It is a properly good choice for corporate environments as it allows employees to communicate and send files to one another.
