Many applications, like CuteFTP, CoffeeCup Free FTP, VNC, IncrediMail, Outlook Express, and others, allows you to type a password for using it in the application. The typed password is not displayed on the screen, and instead of the real password, you see a sequence of asterisk (´****´) characters. This utility can reveal the passwords stored behind the asterisks in standard password text-boxes.
Autorun Eater was born due to increase of malwares using the ‘autorun.inf’ tactic to infect users unknowingly be it from flash drives, removable hard disks or any other removable storage device. When an infected device is infected with a malware and an ‘autorun.inf’ file is dropped, the shell menu is normally modified to execute the malware whenever the unsuspecting user double-clicks the infected drive.
Most anti-malware apps out there will almost instantly remove any malware detected but more often than not they leave the ‘autorun.inf’ file behind. And what if the anti-malware app fails to catch the malware? Here is when Autorun Eater comes in handy. Autorun Eater will remove any suspicious ‘autorun.inf’ files even before the user attempts to access the drive. This files are auto-backup’ed in case of false positives.
The key to online security in today´s world is a good password policy. Most of the Internet services such as webmail, ftp, pop3, etc require username / password authentication.
They say that a chain is as strong as its weakest link. If you use a weak password for multiple accounts, you put yourself in great jeopardy because a hacker can easily intercept or brute force your password and they will gain access to your private data.
