38079 2002-03-06 04:41:00 If for,example,a virus installed a keystroke logging program on my machine and reported home, what would it be able to make of a Copy & Paste action of a password? Would it just record a Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V or would the characters be recorded? What would be recorded using the mouse to do this?
I look forward to any ideas on this.

It really depends on how the program works. It may log all your clipboard contents too so copy and paste will not work.
