Dear Richard and all,

Thank you very much for the valuable information. I have a little knowledge about phishing as most Japanese bank web sites have pages to give their customer a caution of it. I feel relieved now to have heard of a lot regarding spyware from anyone who gave followups for my post. Probably (or certainly?), my iMac G5 keeps clean and safe at the moment.

And this is my second question. My other problem is that Brightness in Displays System Preferences sometimes changes to the minimum when my iMac G5 running Panther 10.3.5 starts up or wakes up from sleep. Something wrong. Is this a known problem? I suspected this is due to a side effect of any spywares.

Any help would be so much appreciated.

Technical question:
They are installed by viewing some malicious web site or email
(attachment). After secretly installing, they're waiting for what they
want. By the way, what's their target information? Is it four 4 digits
continuous numbers such as credit card code or bank account number? Do
they have the function to detect a selective typing stroke from the
keyboard?
