Re: Hacked

Yeah, I zapped the keylogger last night, it was a dll in Windows 32. Wiped it, did various other things under guidance from someone who knows what he is talking about, ran a check using the scanner that located it in the first place, Symantec Virus Scanner and that came up clean. Changed every password on the pc, email passwords, windows passwords, forum passwords, the lot about 8 hours later, after I'd slept. Then reported it to Microsoft. Can't think that I've missed anything.

I'm pretty sure I know how I got this keylogger too. A friend of mine who I talk to on messenger warned me he got it, so it looks like its come from using MSN messenger. He had it on his pc too but removed it. I've warned all my contacts. It's all a tad worrying as though I'm no pc expert, I use a firewall, antivirus, regularly check for spyware etc and I STILL get this. Don't really see what else I can do to stay secure.
