February 4, 2007 at 2:35 pm #157743Jeff HesterKeymasterIt sounds like a scam! Who will send $300 for the program.
February 4, 2007 at 2:46 pm #157746stupidisasstupiddoesMemberKumari, you should know better than to post links to sites that promote hacking. This thread needs to be locked and have the link deleted.
There isn’t anything you can do if this software does work as advertised. Except, do not respond to anybody in PM that might want to infect you. But it is more likely that the software is infected and will infect the person that tries to run it.
And for somebody to claim that their virus is not detectable is false. To rely on anti virus programs to detect all threats is not a good thing. It also involves your knowledge in knowing exactly what EVERY process on your task manager is. And to be able to tell if something is running that shouldn’t be.

this is a confirmed scam. The URL should be deleted from previous posts.
February 4, 2007 at 6:30 pm #157744detn8rParticipantI’m sorry.. all this program looks like is a Trojan that fu%$’s with your computer (unless you have a firewall). The only way I see to attempt to steal a password is inputting a key logger onto a victims computer — which by the way can be found for free on any search engine.
Methods? Boots you off Yahoo Messenger, logs your password as you enter it, and emails you (or however else this program does it). $300? Don’t make me laugh!
