The software which is of the main concern in this article is PassShow. As it claims, it is designed in order to help you see your password. It means that there is no need to type it again and again when you want to log in somewhere on the web. As it claims, you will have to type in your password only once and then you will be able to see it all the time. However, some users would rather say that it is a potentially unwanted program because it has an ability to come onto your computer without being noticed. Does this program look useless for you? You always have an opportunity to erase it from your system. We will help you to do that.
The other suspicious feature of PassShow is the fact that it might collect information related to your browsing habits. As it is stated in the Privacy Policy of the program, your online behavior information is collected in order to improve the services. Thus, you should know that your browsing history and your search queries might be of the main interest. In addition, such non-personally identifiable information as your IP address, the type of your browser that you use and its version as well as the antivirus type you are using. All the information is gathered using several technical modules. If you do not want to reveal such information, you should remove PassShow without further considerations. You could always download it again from its official website.
What is more, PassShow might show you advertisements while you are browsing the web, which means that there is always a possibility that you will be redirected to the websites whose content is unknown or even malicious. Do not click on any of the advertisements if you notice them. In addition, you should install a reliable antimalware tool which will help you keep your computer safe all the time.
Are you still not sure how PassShow got onto your computer? There is a considerable possibility that it can bundle with freeware and then be installed onto your computer together with it. This usually happens when you do not pay enough attention to the installation process, which means that you always have to select custom installation. Do you wonder why it is even important? It can be explained very shortly – you will be able to unmark all the superfluous programs if you do that. This will reduce the amount of unnecessary programs on your system.
