Asterisk Password Decryptor False Positive!

Viruses and worms
1

Hello,

Since the last week or so I program I use keeps getting flagged by Avast and I believe and hope it is just a false Positive. Avast will not let me download it as it keeps removing it. Now the Asterisk Password Decryptor installer does come with a few add on options which of course I always decline when installing. I also uploaded the file to a few web sites for a virus check and all of them say its clean.

I reported this software to Avast last week but so far its still being blocked.

Thanks

Here is the web site

Don’t know to what websites you uploaded it to test,
but the tests I ran show that multiple scanners say it is malware or at least a PUP.

Some results:
ESET-NOD32 : a variant of Win32/PSWTool.IEPasswordsRevealer.A (several threads)
VBA : Win32.OvlBomb

So 6 programs report it as mailware and the rest say its clean.

Who’s right and who is wrong?

Anyway luckily I just found another program that does the same thing as Asterisk Password Decryptor called BulletsPassView and does not come with any add on junk and seems clean at least as far as Avast is concerned. So just to be safe I might as well just start using BulletsPassView and stop using Asterisk Password Decryptor.

6 say it is clean?
Don’t know how/where you learned to count, but it is more than 6 that say it is not trusted.

Why do you want to use something like that anyway?
Just use your brain to remember your own passwords.

BulletPassView is also a PUP.

What is it you really are trying to do?

Detection ratio: 6 / 54

Well I like having this kind of software handy in case I forget one of my passwords.

So you are saying BulletPassView is not safe either? And it sounds like you are saying I should not use these kinds of programs at all?

6/54 is just one site saying it.
I have found more that are saying it.

Just in case you forget a password?
All websites (owners) give you a option to retrieve/reset a password.
There is no need at all to use such software.
You should use your brain to remember them or you can use something like:
