So when u know who has the script you send 'evil site', and its executed on the receivers pc.
The script uses a site called
SnapCasa which makes the screenshots. It's completely safe to use this, because if the site is bad, the worst thing that could happen is that the SnapCasa server is attacked. The thumbnail isn't made on your computer, it is simply downloaded from the SnapCasa servers.
