Here is what google say about the Google pages shutdown

Google Page Creator is no longer accepting new sign-ups.

We are no longer accepting new sign-ups for Page Creator because we have shifted our focus to developing Google Sites, which offers many of the capabilities of Page Creator along with new features like site-level navigation, site-level headers, control over who can see and edit your site, and rich embeddings like calendars, videos, and Google docs.

If you are currently a Page Creator user, you can continue to use Page Creator and your pages will automatically be transitioned to Google Sites later this year. We are committed to making this transition as smooth and easy as possible, and we will post more details as we get closer to the transition time. You can also manually move your web pages from Page Creator to Google Sites or other service providers at any time. Google Pages

To get rid of the key loggers

There are some programs that store all the keys (key log) that you type on the keyboard known as key loggers. You may access information on internet from many public systems (E.g.: net cafe, office, friends’ computer). So there is a possibility of stealing our passwords, then what to do with this.
Don’t directly type the passwords
Type all a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and special characters to a notepad file. From that file copy appropriate letters that are in your password and paste it to the password input box of your mail, chatting, social network, banking websites. That’s it.

Warning on stealthy Windows virus

Experts warn on viruses that reside in the windows system and steal our passwords when we use any web services like e-payment banking etc. The virus enters as a Trojan or will be automatically downloaded when the user visit some sites that contains cracks, serials, and other virus writer’s websites. It will be invisible in the windows task manager and process lists. By using web’s new technology, virus writers also use web pages that run malicious script that can edit the windows registry.

Now a days registry edits using some malicious script is a threat in internet life, the attacks include blocking some services in the windows (like heap4a virus do) that deny setting the display properties and folder options etc. Some scripts change our browsers homepage to their site’s address and we won’t be able to reset it. When we try to edit registry it will automatically regain its previous state, it is because of the working of some malicious programs that may run in background (like in the case of heap4a virus, svchost.exe is running which mimics windows’ svchost.exe). Some anti viruses with latest updation can detect and repair heap4a virus, but in the case of password stealth viruses we need another strategy and antivirus companies like Symantec are planning to kill these kind of threats.
