My KIS has already found the password

 

My Eset Smart Security doesn't give a warn. And the attachment is the original one which is downloaded from joineset page .

Seem that they used some malicious techniques in this crackme. Strongly recommend to do reversing in a VM.

Yes exactly , they are using back door technics , they inject some code into the main Svchost.exe process of windows , that's why my AV went crazy.
