>> Why wait for a click? The attacker can just record all screen activity in
an 
>> AVI file and upload that. No need to wait for clicks.

Average time taken by a user for entering Bank PINs using onscreen keyboards
is 1 - 1.5 mins. 
Size of AVI file generated for 1 - 1.5 min of recording > 1 MB
Assuming 10 such recording per day, size > 10 mb

Imagine more such infected m/cs sending the logs back to the attacker
everyday. Not really follwed by any virus writers.
