MessenPass - getting lost IM passwords from your PC

notes from ClifNotes, Jun 2007, permalink Instant Messaging

Mindblower wrote me other day with a time saving find. As soon as I saw where he'd gotten this one, it was like seeing a 5 gold star rating. Anything you find at Nirsoft.net is likely to be very well designed, simple to use, light weight, and spyware free.

from Mindblower:
I was searching for this program, visited your archives, found nothing, but lucky for me I discovered this marvelous gem.

Below is an extract from the readme file. I tried to come up some sweet words about this program, but other than it works and it saved me from a ton of useless work, the author says it best, Mindblower!

There are loads of other freeware software at this site. Believe I tried some others and was also very impressed.
