Guest guest Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 This is the name of the spyware that I cannot remove from my computer. I remove it, and it instantly comes back. I will never buy online using a credit card again. It is an application that continually searches for passwords. Of course, I don't care about passwords to groups like this, but I sure do for anything involving a credit card or banking information.

Request to Reclassify Software Related Pages Spyware Research Center Free Online Spyware Scan Knowledge Base Affiliate Program Spyware Information: Nutcracker 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 Nutcracker 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.
