There's also other ways malicious coders could intercept keystrokes if they really wanted to, including ways of getting text in password fields, and there's not much we can do about it. When it comes to computers, thems the ropes; there will always be jerks who'll try to write programs that do this sort of thing. Fortunately, the good news with any kernel extensions is that there's *NO* way to install them without the user knowing exactly what you're doing and without them typing in an administrator password, which is probably one of the main reasons we don't come across Mac OS X viruses. There are *plenty* of things typed in non-password fields that should not be monitored... = Mike This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
