antica Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Hi I've been happily using Macro Express for some time now and very happy with it. Some of the macros I use for it is to use it for some logins on some websites (for some unattended surfing). But anyway, that's another story... the real question I want to ask is, If my PC is ever infected with a keylogger virus/spyware, and my macro uses the Text Type function to key in anything from web addresses to ids to passwords, does anyone know if it will ever be logged by the virus as keys pressed and logged, sent to hacker (unlike form-fillers like Roboform) , since the Text Type function is supposed to simulate as if the user is typing the text out on a keyboard?

jason Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Keylogger programs monitor the keyboard hooks, which Macro Express and any other macro program use. So unfortunately the answer is yes. This is one reason why we should keep our virus scanners and firewalls up to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
