| 331647 | 2005-03-07 12:24:00 | Pardon my ignorance but: If you don’t use keystrokes to access an URL (eg bank site) but instead use an auto logon/saved password does that get around reading keystrokes or are they still entered and therefore read? :eek: |

| 331648 | 2005-03-07 13:21:00 | are they still entered and therefore read? Yes, assuming the logger is a bit more advanced than the most basic versions. Advanced versions will capture every single thing you do on your PC. It's also well to keep in mind though, that Loggers aren't necessarily necessary to capture a lot of what you do on your PC, assuming others have physical access to your computer. |

| 331650 | 2005-03-08 00:24:00 | Some are smart enough to record the authentication used with websites, some take screenshots/screendumps, some can extract the saved password information AFAIK also Depends on the software.... |
