Title: Memory scan before password entering
Post by: CabbageTree on March 11, 2014, 12:11:55 AM
Hi there,

I would like to ask: Before I fill up some important password-fields I usualy do a memory test only.
I have such feeling, that if there would be some virus trying to "listen" to my keyboard while entering my password, it should be in the memory first — and Avast have to detect it.
(I of course do time to time regular test, but memory-only [which I am talking about here] only when using important passwords.)

I would like to ask: Am I too naive or the proof of clean memory is reasonable enough to be unworried about the filling the password?

Thank you in advance!
