Remove ViewPassword by Bechiro S.L

This potentially unwanted software is distributed via various download sites that host malware. This toolbar/web browser extension is ad/search-supported that is typically installed as an optional offer, users generally have this bundled with 3rd party software. During setup, this toolbar will modify the home page and new tab pages to an affiliate search portal using a primary search engine in order to collect shared search revenue. It will also modify the default search provider as well.

During setup, the program registers itself to launch on boot through a Windows Schedule Task in order to automatically start-up (this is typically done to avoid any UAC prompts). It adds a Browser Helper Object (BHO) to Internet Explorer. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The primary executable is named ViewPassword.exe. A majority of users end up uninstalling this less than a week of it being installed. The setup package generally installs about 9 files and is usually about 1.11 MB (1,162,059 bytes).
