Hi,

I'm going to leave my working place, so i tried to use passware IE key to see if it could find some of my account pwds (i use win xp pro). Shit ! it can find my gmail account… I tried to clean password caches, cookies, temporary files, … but each time i launch passware IE key, it finds my account infos again! Can someone tell me where this soft grabs the info ? Registry ? hidden file ? I don't want to reinstall the system, so how can i clean up my computer to be sure nobody can get the infos ?

Thank you… and sorry for my bad english.

Don't format… Just, remove all cache (temp. internet files, cookies, etc…) Then Open 1) IE>> 2)TOOLS>> 3)INTERNET OPTIONS >> 4)For IE 6(CONTENT >> AUTOCOMPLETE >> CLEAR THE FORMS AND THE PASSWORD)

for IE 7 >> 1)2)3) 4)GENERAL >> DELETE… >> DELETE ALL (including history). hope that helped…

Consider using CCleaner, it has an option for secure deleting (NSA 7-passes) and it can clear almost everything you want on a Windows machine ;)

Hey dude,

As i said in my first post, i already cleaned all caches, cookies, … I don't save my passwords in IE. The option is disabled for pass and forms, and now i always use firefox. I think Passware IE Key just store the passes it found in either registry or some file but don't know where…

Cleaned the registry files?

I've found where it were hidden (in the registry). I used regmon.exe from sysinternals to see the app access. It was a system-only access key so i couldn't find it when using the search menu of regedit32…

Try launching regedit as the local system account (might work, just guessing)
