If your computer has been infected with a key logger, will it also capture
your finger print?
Does the finger print scanner offer any additional protection or is it just
a convenience so you don't have to remember
a bunch of passwords?

A mere convenience.

A keylogger may not get the biometric data but maybe well crafted datastealer may be able
to do so. The possibility is still highly remote {at this time}.
