So SE knows it’s a keylogger, and since no one can figure out how to remove the code/program/etc, they are doing the most logical thing, allowing users to use an on screen keyboard, where a keylogger can’t get the password.

Now since they think they “know” how it all began with Real player, flash, w/ever, they figure the computer might be safe from “NEW” programs using the same method they used to infect with the “Old” Program.

There's more than one way to skin a cat and there's more than one way to steal a password. The software keyboard eliminates one of two currently used vectors to get access to your account. But as long as users keep pretending they're helpless victims instead of stepping up and being responsible for their own security they're still wide open to future hacks.

Btw, am I to understand correctly that your friend is continuing to use a system he believes is infected with a keylogger because he thinks he can't get rid of it without reinstalling? That is profoundly lazy and irresponsible. Which would you rather do: spend an afternoon restoring your system from a wipe, or spend months on the phone with creditors trying to recover your life from an identity theft? But I guess if the latter happens he can just claim ignorance and helplessness.

Hmmm... let's just all agree it's Bill Gats's Fault and be done with it lol.

Dear god, are you even listening? Nobody is responsible for your personal safety but yourself. Blaming Bill Gates for an account theft is like blaming George Bush for getting mugged.
