Rootkit + keylogging is not to be ignored

I have mentioned several times that the threat of rootkit and keylogging would be something for this year.

Again, from the report, "Hacking Made Easy" of the Washingtonpost.com indicates how serious this problem would be.

That is the reason for me to ask users of USC Password Security Storage System Light Version 2.0 use a specific webpage to avoid keyboard input. The version 2.5 is now in the final test stage and will be released within a week. The major change is to have the function embedded with the program so that users can manage the input easily and without the keylogger risk.

It may be difficult for us to detect if there is any rootkit type spyware. As pointed out in the report, it is an international organization and not individual that threatened the safety of our passwords.
