RE: Keylogger question...

Yes, it's the same.  Only the encoding & sending of what you've typed
that's different.   You type, the browser submits.  If HTTPS, it
encrypts what you typed.  But regardless it used the same Windows API to
process your typing.

Smoke signals are OK, but may contribute to global warming.  Also, since
anyone can see the smoke signals, it's actually worse than the
keylogging since you're actively broadcasting your data to anyone who
cares to see it.

Get a personal firewall, get an anti-spyware app.  Add AV + stay current
on security patches and you're reasonable safe.  But there aren't any
guarantees. :)
