[gentoo-user] advice on security and keyloggers

[Jerry Turba]

I've heard a lot lately about software keyloggers that can be installed 
on a computer while surfing the net, and how big a security problem they 
have become. What is the Linux/Gentoo approach to block keyloggers? I do 
not run any antivirus or anti spyware programs (I don't even network 
with Windows) only Shorewall.
Are keyloggers a form of a virus and do not present a great danger to 
Linux? Should I be safe if I keep up on updates and the glsa?

Thanks for any info.
