Vendor Description

from the doc: 'hi all buddies so i have designed another fake messenger yahoo ! after my fake msn 5 .... cuz i have found that theres no fake yahoo around ..(there may be but not in my knowledge).. and if you dont have too then enjoy it :D

MAIN FEATURES : ammm same as yahoo messenger ... just put its shortcut on the desktop ... and your done

HOW TO SEE THE LOGGED PASSWORDS: just go to about menu and doulbe click TWICE ...(double click two times ... once and again) you will find a password entering dilouge ..and if you dont have already setted a password than it would have a button set password else if you already have then you have to enter the password... you can set a password...by clicking on the set password button ... now .. see the logged passwords and enjoy :P

AUTOSTART: also it can run in the taskbar .. even if you close[cross] it ... so you can also put in the system start up ......the option is the passowrd entering dialouge .. after you dbl click twice on about box...

PROPERTIES amm i have tried to keep it as realistic as i could .... and i think so i am quite successful in it... cuz the main thing missing in every fake messenger was that it lack the capabiltiy to maximize ... so i have added it too :D ......

....note ...... when i smade this, at that moment i have windows xp default theme and may be the look would be different or may be ambiguous in other themes or in any other windows version'

DoS:  A program that denies an authorized user the use of a service or a system

Trojan:  Any program with a hidden intent. Trojans are one of the leading causes of breaking into machines. If you pull down a program from a chat room, new group, or even from unsolicited e-mail, then the program is likely trojaned with some subversive purpose. The word Trojan can be used as a verb: To trojan a program is to add subversive functionality to an existing program. For example, a trojaned login program might be programmed to accept a certain password for any user's account that the hacker can use to log back into the system at any time. Rootkits often contain a suite of such trojaned programs.
