Look at the comments. He says to replace "*" with another symbol. I've tried to find it replacing "*" with the characters of Latin Alphabet, uppercase and lowercase and all the numbers, but I think the symbol is a russian character.
lol. its funny how desperate people are to activate win8. so much that a lot of people are willing to run just about any random exe that says it will activate win8 having no idea what it is really doing in the background. they figure that if a virus scanner doesnt know about it then it must be safe. lol. sorry i dont mean to troll I just think its funny how many fakes are out there.
I tried the password with the RAR, and it does not work at all. I also believe this is a fake Russian Windows 8 activation file.
He posted a link to the file itself: hxxp://loadmoney.ru/get_file?sid=2810&url=aHR0cDovL3dpbmRvd3MtOC5vcmcudWEvZG93bmxvYWQv0KPQvdC40LLQtdGA0YHQsNC70YzQvdGL0LkgS01TINCw0LrRgtC40LLQsNGC0L7RgCAxLjQuZXhl&name=0KPQvdC40LLQtdGA0YHQsNC70YzQvdGL0LkgS01TINCw0LrRgtC40LLQsNGC0L7RgCAxLjQuZXhl&type=YXBwbGljYXRpb24vb2N0ZXQtc3RyZWFt&size=MjE5LjMgS2lC But it's flagged as a virus for me at least, so I wouldn't try it.
I was going to transfer to my Win8 tablet via gmail but it flagged the file as a virus. Creating a virtual machine with windows 8 to see what this file does...
Just tried. The first button link to a russian site, the second install a browser or something similar, and I didn't try the third.
