***X-Posted from DU:GD --- (I don't know if this fits here) ...

If Norton (or other protective software) identifies a site as a "keylogger", are the keystrokes captured for everyone clicking into the site, or does one have to log on to the site to be affected.

Second question: does the keystroke capture only apply to the strokes done on that site: or will, once "infected", the keystrokes continue to be captured whenever one types?

Third question: Once "infected", or suspected that one is "infected, what steps should be taken.
