Mmm. Ssh only can *certificate* you that no one is capturing trafic 
between server and client (freebsd and putty), ssh stablishes a ciphred 
tunnel consistent in a two keys (private and public).

Ssh client ( or putty in your case ) don't *warranty* if your computer 
client is running a keylogger or a trojan horse. If client is keylogged 
or trojaned you are died :-D, buy an antivirus or  something for M$ 
Platforms. In *nix systems, relay to the administrator...
