WARNING. Some tools in this package might pose a security risk if used without the consents of the PC owner. They can be used to read system passwords (e.g. dialup password) that are usually not easily accessible and hidden from the user. Many Anti-Virus vendors classify them as Riskware (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riskware) or 'HackTools'.
And while downloading and running these tools does NOT cause any harm to your PC, the tools might be used for malicious activity by other users of the PC or during remote attacks to your PC. If you are unsure, we recommend to delete the tools listed in the section 'Password Recovery Utilities' from your file system - if you are using an Anti-Virus program with On-Access scanner it will most likely report and quarantine those tools upon installation anyway.

Comments and Reviews
The NirSoft suite is a must have for any Windows user. The clean streamlined interface is a refreshing change from the usual obfuscation of preforming Windows tasks. I will concede that the tools can be used for hacking but am of the opinion that everyone should have a copy on a thumb-drive.
Great kit of nifty utilities in there. Each of them is lean and mean, does what it's supposed to.
Nir products have been a staple for IT for years. If you don't have the budget for high end programs Nirsoft collection of programs can help you do all of that drudge troubleshooting, sleuthing, and all around digging. While the frontend GUI won't win any awards Nirsoft programs more up for that by providing rock solid sensible programs and instructions
Excellent all in one program - you can even add other modules to double or triple its usefulness.
perfectly safe.
Of course it's a password stealer! That's the whole point! To discover lost / forgotten passwords... that's why anti-virus detect them.
Of course it can also be used to evil... but the idea is to recover lost passwords in the system.
True - these are good points, and users come first ;-) I felt that you (Venom88) were being a bit strong on the accusation part, and I felt the software was good enough to deserve a defense.
I agree with Ola. Considering that we can't control if this software is a false positive or a true one (it isn't opensource) we'll inform the users that it's suspicious at least.
