ElementQ is private personal communications software aiming you to find friends, penpals with interests similar to yours, exchange messages and files with them, tell others about what (whom) you are looking for and what you have. Are you looking for retro songs? Good old computer game? Penpal from Ukraine? Or, maybe, a single man raising kids and living in Europe? ElementQ Communicator is designed to help and enjoy you! It is easy and safe to use. ElementQ interface is similar to standard email programs, but unlike them it does not need to use any external servers and email addresses.

ElementQ is based on "peer-to-peer" communications. It means that you need to leave your computer running online for some periods of time in order to communicate with other people computers and exchange information with them.

ElementQ communications are private and secure, messages are transparently encrypted not only while being transmitted over Internet, but also when they are stored on your computer. In addition your local account has password protection option so that nobody but you could access saved data.

Using ElementQ you can safely share any number of pictures, music, video and other files with your friends. This program can run unattended at scheduled intervals and has fast image viewer with many options.

Important! Security Considerations

ElementQ does not contain adware or other code that may be harmful or unsafe. However, your computer is intended to stay online so it must be protected against hacker's attacks. To operate your computer safely and smoothly we always recommend such additional precautions:

Install Personal Firewall, such as free ZoneAlarm developed by Zone Labs. Make sure to enable ElementQ server and client in your firewall settings. Firewall protects your computer from hacker's attacks. Shields UP! — Internet Vulnerability Profiling test shows how your computer is protected against hackers.

Disable Windows Messenger! Here you will find information on how to block pop-up spam messages (Shoot The Messenger) and links to some interesting free network tools.

If you have sensitive data stored on your PC use file encryption software, such as Best Crypt. This is excellent "on-the-fly" file encryption and disk wipe tool, capable of Windows swap file encryption! It protects files stored on your PC from unauthorized access. They also offer personal firewall.
