If you get a keylogger on your computer, either you need to stop visiting the sketchiest sites on the web or get better security.
This. I don't know why everyone makes a big deal about keyloggers. If you get an ordinary keylogger; guess what? It's not after your Maplestory account. You get your account hijacked from a keylogger aimed specifically at MS players. That means you most likely downloaded something you weren't supposed to. Think twice about downloading that DC hack from some shady forum where the thread is filled with generic "THANKS, OP!" responses.
Really, there are only a few MS related downloads I can think of someone actually wanting, aside from hacks. Most people who get keylogged on MS get them from trying out hacks. Or perhaps they went to a "FREE NX" website and obliviously clicked the "You don't have the latest Flash installed, you need it to view this site!" link.
Getting keylogged is seriously te least of my worries. Get No-script, and make damn sure any MS related site you visit is reputable. Make sure that any attachment on that site is safe as well. If you don't know how to ensure its safety, you can always wait until the regular lurkers post in the thread. Unless the forum is both filled and run by idiots, any tainted file posted on the forums will be removed within a few hours (if a mod isn't active at the time).
Honestly, you have to be practically looking for a Maplestory keylogger to get caught by one. It's harder to get keylogged than you would think, provided you use your common sense and don't let your guard down.
