      IRC Nickname: Wayne|Eregion2 Group: Emeritus Posts: 3087 Member No.: 156 Joined: January 25, 2008 Total Events Attended: 8    | I'm absolutely befuddled at this point. If anyone can help shed some light on this I'd be extremely grateful, because the only thing I've got left is that I've become a split schizophrenic. Last week I picked up some trojans from somewhere (Java:Agent, if that means anything) and several of my e-mail accounts and my World of Warcraft account was compromised. Cleaned everything up, changed passwords and security questions, actually started a new e-mail from scratch and set up most of my stuff there using a second computer. Everything's fine and dandy until I come home from work today and the password to my World of Warcraft account and the new e-mail I set up were both changed. I recovered both, nothing on my characters has been tampered with, and I cannot find a single virus. Anywhere. I just finished the most thorough reboot scan Avast! can give me and there's nothing there. What could I be missing? There's got to be a keylogger in that PC somewhere. PS: Blizzard Authenticator is in the mail. --------------------  | ||||

If I lose it again I guess it means they have the answer to my secret Battlenet Q/A, which'll be a pain in the ass but whatever. I'll handle it if it happens. -------------------- | ||||

My battlenet and e-mail passwords were reset sometime this morning -after- I reinstalled my operating system and changed the password to my battlenet account and my password and secret question responses to my e-mail account. I'm starting to think this hacker is a fucking psychic, I can't think of anything else to even try. -------------------- | ||||

When I get hacked, I want to be able to fry the fucker's brain. Think everything's good now though, had a few layover trojans hiding in C:\Windows.old\ after the reinstallation that AVG10/Avast! didn't catch, but ESET NOD32 seems to have done the trick. -------------------- | ||||

Which is why I said wipe it all, not leave the old windows files sitting there (ie reformat the fucker)  -------------------- Old awards wat Most Mature & Most Honourable Most Dedicated|IRC Freak|Best Emeritus Placeholder lolz | ||||
