*** Read about msnpass.info and msn-blocked.com scam ***
msnpass.info is a scam Web site that sell my MessenPass software through the SMS payment system of Allopass company. This Web site get a large amount of traffic by sending fake instant messages from msn-blocked.com Web site
msn-blocked.com is a nasty spamming Web site that ask the user to type his user/password of MSN, and them send a fake invite message to all his contacts that invite them, in the name of the innocent user, to visit msn-blocked.com Web site.
After visiting msn-blocked.com, the users are also sent to msnpass.info Web site, that offer them to purchase my MessenPass software through the payment system of Allopass company. Allopass already know about the scam, but continue to support it with their payment system that provide a great revenue for both the scams owner and for Allopass company.
Installing MessenPass
MessenPass can be used without any installation process, simply by running the executable file (mspass.exe) from the zip file.
If you want to install MessenPass with automatic creation of program group icons and uninstall support, download and run the self-install executable file.
Using MessenPass
When you run MessenPass, it automatically detects the Instant Messenger applications installed on your computer, decrypts the passwords they store, and displays all user name/password pairs that it found in the main window of MessenPass. If from some reason, MessenPass fails to locate the installed Instant Messenger application, you can try to manually select the right folder of your IM application by using ‘Select Folders’ option (from the File menu).
On the main window of MessenPass, you can select one or more password items, and then copy them to the clipboard in tab-delimited format (you can paste this format into Excel or Open-Office Spreadsheet), or save them into text/html files.
Command-Line Options
You can also save the passwords of your Instant Messenger applications without displaying any user interface, by using the following command-line options:
| /stext <Filename> | Save all instant messenger passwords into a regular text file. |
| /stab <Filename> | Save all instant messenger passwords into a tab-delimited text file. |
| /scomma <Filename> | Save all instant messenger passwords into a comma-delimited text file. |
| /stabular <Filename> | Save all instant messenger passwords into a tabular text file. |
| /shtml <Filename> | Save all instant messenger passwords into HTML file. |
| /sverhtml <Filename> | Save all instant messenger passwords into HTML file. (vertical) |
| /sxml <Filename> | Save all instant messenger passwords into XML file. |
| /sort <column> | This command-line option can be used with other save options for sorting by the desired column. If you don’t specify this option, the list is sorted according to the last sort that you made from the user interface. The <column> parameter can specify the column index (0 for the first column, 1 for the second column, and so on) or the name of the column, like “Software” and “Protocol”. You can specify the ‘~’ prefix character (e.g: “~User”) if you want to sort in descending order. You can put multiple /sort in the command-line if you want to sort by multiple columns.Examples: mspass.exe /shtml “f:\temp\mspass.html” /sort 2 /sort ~1 mspass.exe /shtml “f:\temp\mspass.html” /sort “Protocol” /sort “User” |
| /nosort | When you specify this command-line option, the list will be saved without any sorting. |
