 From the doc: 'whats new? - it extracts all of the screen names from the victims registry, so you can select which screen name to get the password of, instead of typing it in and having to know what screen names he/she has. - new and better colors for the iface. - minimized the system tray. - fixed the server so it doesnt screw up your computer.'
