Spot-On

When it comes to chatting with people or exchanging emails, you can think of Spot-On as a Swiss army knife, due to all the features it provides in a single package. It includes chat and email tools, a built-in web browser, as well as a wide range of configuration options. The application is excellent for keeping in touch with friends or collaborating with co-workers.

Spot-On is freeware and it can be used on any modern Windows system. Its components can be extracted directly from a ZIP archive, so you don't have to go through an installation process. Also, there is no need to install any prerequisite tools or services and you don't have to sacrifice too many resources.

The software provides you with instant messaging tools, as well as an email client, web search tool, listeners, a StarBeam client and other features, which can be found on separate tabs, on the same user interface. You can jump from one tool to another instantly and use them right away, without any loading times.

Although you don't have to go through an installation process, you will have to go through some initial configurations when you launch Spot-On for the first time. However, a wizard can guide you with step-by-step instructions and explanations. It is worth noting here that you can decide to set up a traditional passphrase protection or a question and answer system. The latter option comes with the advantage of generating Echo public keys. What's more, you can choose between different cipher and hash types.

Judging by rather complex design, it is quite clear that Spot-On is intended more for power users and less for beginners. It may take some time to go through all the options it has to offer and a fair bit of know-how to make it work properly, but there is much you can expect in return. The software uses an advanced public key sharing system, which allows you to communicate in a more secure fashion. Once you master all its knobs and dials, you will have a complete and efficient communication system on your hands.

Spot-On has everything you need, if you want to communicate with your friends or co-workers in a secure and efficient manner.
