The second one doesn't really have a solution, does it? That's just a security problem on the users side, so that would deal with them having a virus, nothing much can be done there.

(not completely sure, because I haven't done tons of research in this area.)

while the first modification might be correct due to path protected (ssl, ...) transmission of the pw (i don't know of) and the new hashing in the db, i'm pretty sure the second is as insecure as always.
