program mentioned on MG

Not too long ago, there was a program link for a very small program that will tell you what the password is behind the asterisk. My wife has a lot of passwords she has set to auto fill and does not know the actual passwords anymore. I was looking through the DL page to see if the name would catch my eye but unfortunately it did not. If this sounds familiar to anyone reading this, could you please re-post the link?
Thanks a bunch and for those of you that celebrate it....HAPPY 4th of JULY!!!!

 

Thanks Laura. Asterisk key was the one. I was not looking in the right folder on the DL page. Thank you so much!!!!!!

 

Don't you wish they were all as easy,Laura?

 

That would be nice, but it kindof takes the fun out of things.

 

Is it just the nature of the beast with password reveal programs that AV programs (such as Symantec Endpoint Protection) see the download/installer files as infected?

 

It was either Asterisk Key or IE PassView.

I had downloaded both within a minute of one another, and then ~ 2-3 minutes after that, SEP started giving me the first indications that something might be amiss.

I do remember that the Risk Type was "PasswordRevealer" and the Status was "Infected," however.

I didn't think anything of the former (that's what the program is, by its very nature), but thought the latter ("Infected") was a bit odd.

I will try to recreate it when I get back to that PC.

 

OK, here goes...

Asterisk Key will at least download from MajorGeeks, although SEP is telling me it's infected (almost certainly a false-positive, but I thought I'd be thorough here).

However, it won't let me download IE PassView from MajorGeeks at all. It shows up as a "Failed" download, and SEP is all over it from the get-go ("Access Denied").

The behavior (for both programs) is the same regardless of which browser I'm attempting to download in (Firefox or Chrome), so I'm assuming that SEP is the real culprit here.

I have no problem disabling my AV to download something, but would really only feel comfortable doing so after running it by you guys and gals first. :-o
