PasswordView is an application that is promoted as a Web browser extension for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer that can help users manage their passwords easily. PasswordView is supposed to provide an extended functionality to the native password manager inside your browser. However, PasswordView may represent a security risk, because passwords are hidden with asterisk signs to prevent screen-grabbing threats from recording your passwords. All modern Web browsers allow users to review their passwords after they click a small eye-like/lock icon that reveals the password briefly. You need to know that PasswordView is marked as adware because installing the app may result in a torrent of ads pouring on your browser surface. PasswordView is published by Igor Tolmachev, and you can download its app from ads on freeware distribution networks and Passwordview.co. The PasswordView adware is likely to show banners and pop-up windows from untrusted advertisers.
You may want to avoid the ads by PasswordView because they may be corrupted and include badware like MyDrivingTab and NewYTadBlocker. Researchers reveal that the 52.7.155.18 IP address of Passwordview.co is connected to many phishing pages, and Web surfers may be shown misleading information. Moreover, users that are infected with the PasswordView adware could be redirected to phishing portals that are clones of Facebook, Twitter and Amazon. Insecure sites can be recognized by the lack of HTTPS connection and the red lock icon that is used by most browsers to notify the user that harmful scripts may be loaded on the page. The PasswordView adware can trigger alerts such as W32/HackTool.BUS; Win32/Fujacks; SPR/PasswordView.A and Adware/InstallQ. You may want to install a credible anti-malware tool to scan your PC and delete the files that may be used by the PasswordView adware.
