Hi

It is always better to type passwords and change them periodically.
Stored crypt passwords within registry can easily be transferred
and decrypted with a spyware. Spyware/trojans are more common then
keyloggers/trojans.

Most important is to follow ALL advices about security.

http://www.microsoft.com/security

and to use a REAL firewall which controls both inbound and outbound
connections such as Zonealarm, Kerio and Sygate. If a trojan,
keylogger,spyware etc tries to open a new connection you will get a
alarm.
