Portable Miranda NG

Portable Miranda NG is a successor of the Miranda desktop client, which offers support for multi-protocol configurations. The program allows you to manage several instant messaging accounts from the same interface and permits the addition of several plug-ins.

Portable Miranda NG is a lightweight Windows client, which allows you to manage a multitude of instant messaging accounts. The application is simple to use and does not require installation, which means you can even run it from a removable drive.

With Portable Miranda NG, you may configure several messaging accounts, even from different networks. A few examples include: Facebook, Yahoo, AOL Instant Messenger, Gadu-Gadu, ICQ, Internet Relay Chat (IRC), Jabber, MSN, Skype classic, Twitter, WhatsApp, VKontakte or Xfire.

The application can be customized, from toolbars, history storage, chat window options and contact import. The application can automatically import contacts from the accounts you configure, but you may also transfer them from a profile archive.

Portable Miranda NG allows you to configure several profiles, each with one or more instant messaging protocols. Each of these profiles is stored on your computer and can be assigned a different level of encryption. Thus, the standard mode allows you to protect only critical data, such as passwords or security tokens.

The Total mode allows you to encrypt the entire database, string settings, events and histories, however, it requires more space than the former. The supported extensions can extend the capability of Portable Miranda NG with interface elements, sounds and various protocols. You may thus customize your client to suit your preferences and to optimize its size as well.

Portable Miranda NG allows you to connect to several instant messaging accounts at the same time, by providing the authentication credentials for each one. You may enable or disable the connections at any time, as well as view notifications of new messages in the system tray. File transfer is also supported.
