As an aside: Everyone who read this article, please keep in mind that the process injection model used by these pieces of adware is exactly what your typical "keylogger" uses also. No malware literally logs keys typed anymore. I cannot stress that point enough. Instead they log form submissions (e.g. POST requests) which give the malware author much more useful information they can data mine in an automated way (e.g. URL, named parameters, etc). This works even on a "secure" page (e.g. HTTPS with extended certificate). I'm super tired of supposed power users or "geeks" telling others to copy/paste in their username/passwords to improve security. That's not how this works, it isn't how any of this works. Nobody reads raw key-streams, they're completely useless because they fail to contain CONTEXT (i.e. where you typed what). Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine. The term "keylogger" is largely a misnomer. A more accurate name would be "credential hijacking" or "form submission theft." A lot of malware actually use standard injected JavaScript to add event hooks to a page, to fire the data back to a evil browser extensions.
