One of the perils of Web-based public instant messengers, especially for corporate networks is a virus entering the system. When this happens, since computers are connected in a network, the virus affects all of the computers connected. If you want employees to have an easy and most importantly secure instant messaging experience, you need Spark, a Jabber/XMPP client.

Spark was developed by Jive Software. It is an open-source, cross-platform specially built for businesses. Key features include telephony integration, spell check, bookmarks for group chats and tabbed conversations.

If you want a secure messenger that your employees can use without a possible virus threat, Spark really is the IM client for you.
