Spyware Information: Advanced Word 2000 Password Recovery

This application is a password guesser. It is designed to try to break through a password system by guessing millions of passwords until it gets the correct one. Hackers will often use such tools to break into computers on a network; they can set up the password guesser to try to log in to the network, and let it run until it does.

Although you may have never heard of Advanced Word 2000 Password Recovery and don't know how it got onto your computer, your computer may have beem compromised and a hacker may have installed the password guesser on it. This allows the hacker to run the guesser without being caught -- if a network administrator sees that someone is trying to guess a password and traces the communication, the trace will end at your computer.
