LogMeIn and password security?

If the working system has LogMeIn installed with the ability to connect from outside, is it possible to be calm about the safety of personal passwords (say from ICQ)? Is there a chance that they can leak at the request of the employer? Or can a keylogger be launched that saves and sends everything that is needed? Is it necessary to deal with it, if so, how? What software is desirable to check the system to detect a keylogger?

Get Linux (at least on a flash drive) to store passwords securely.
To do this is actually very simple:
- download the distribution, for example, from here ubuntu.ru/get
- burn the ISO image to a CD (or directly to a USB flash drive, if you know how)
- boot from the burned disk, select "create a bootable disk" from the menu
- insert a USB flash drive, write a boot image to it
Now you have a pocket Linux - a safe place to store passwords and, by the way, an invaluable tool for remote administration in general!
PS I keep passwords in the mail, but I go to it only from Linux. In general, oh-oh-very long ago I lost the habit of Windows - and I don’t regret it ;)

I keep all working documents and sources on a TrueCrypt volume (it's just an encrypted file that connects like a regular disk). I also store profiles from firefox, chrome, thunderbird, etc. there.
