I installed the ES 350 screen saver after downloading it from Lexus.com. The
first time it ran, the bells and whistles went off and Spyware Doctor popped
up with the following message.

Keylogger Guard Events
Details - Keylogger Guard has detected the following Keylogger program
recording your keystrokes.
Blocked - c:\windows\system32\es_screensaver.scr

Lexus' screensaver was recording my keystrokes! Spyware Doctor disabled and
quarantined it after which I removed it via Control Panel.

I reported this to Lexus but yesterday but have not received a reply as of
today.
