Abstract
An instant messaging client disables logging of the session through screen capture. The mechanism detects when the instant messaging client application loses focus or when key sequences that might cause the application to lose focus, or may be associated with screen capture, are encountered. When the text messaging application releases focus or a predetermined key sequence is encountered, the mechanism removes the contents of the instant messaging conversation.
