Hi. A few weeks ago, it was posted that ICQ99 stores the password used to access the ICQ network in plain-text in the .DAT files. We have written a program that demonstrates this by parsing these .DAT files for password and showing it to the user. It can be downloaded at http://www.encrsoft.com/products.html#icqpass Note: The option to save password can be turned off in ICQ's Security & Privacy settings. Yours truly, Dmitri Alperovitch Encryption Software - Developers of TSM for ICQ, an ICQ encryption add-on http://www.encrsoft.com dmitri () encrsoft com
