    Well, i did it... i managed to get tricked into downloading a keylogger. I already lost an account (I got chain iced a few weeks ago and started over today) that i just started making some ground with.
    Started my comp over in safe mode, scanned and nuked everything it found.
    I am still randomly getting logged out from my account though... i deleted the fill too... and suggestions?

    Start in safe mode and scan with Spybot Search and Destroy....

    Do this...

    Install this

    * SpyBot S&D
    * SUPERAntiSpyware
    * SpywareBlaster 4.1
    * CCleaner

    And update =P

    Reboot in safe mode

    Use * SpyBot S&D
    * SUPERAntiSpyware
    * SpywareBlaster 4.1

    And later the CCleaner

    Reboot in normal mode

    Try a online antivirus (I think Ewido is the better http://www.ewido.net/en/onlinescan/)

    And latter use the SpyBot S&D and SUPERAntiSpyware and SpywareBlaster 4.1 and CCleaner again =)

    Or try to found a tutorial (Try on google.com)

    Good luck!

    Also change passwords to EVERYTHING on a different PC
    and they wont be able to login

    (For neo, PIN everything on different PC as well) If everything IS PINNED DO NOT TYPE IT ANYWHERE!
    Especially paypal and bank accounts

    Might I also suggest AVG Anti-Spyware and HijackThis, they're both quite powerful tools for finding and eliminating threats on your computer. However, I would suggest being especially careful when using AVG as it provides access to OS reliant apps that HijackThis normally doesn't; that could be good or bad depending on your level of pc knowledge.

    As suggested remember to remove your cookies, and change your passwords afterwards. I would also highly recommend doing this after using the above utilities listed. Overall your best bet is doing most things manually, simply google the program and follow the instructions provided by a trusted website.

    (Although, doing the above will ensure you have eliminated all virus and trojan definitions currently known that you may, or may not know currently exists on your computer)

    Someone is trying to get rich very effective very fast. And because SoC and Billy is around protecting the Planet like usual there's nothing to worry about.


    Anyway, Keyloggers seems to be the most funny thing I ever used. I managed to trick my gf with a keylogger and saw every conversation with a boy on MSN and knew the truth. They really are usefull but in the wrong hands it can cause chaos.

    Paranoid much FastBullet? I think it makes you pretty untrustworthy putting a keylogger on someones pc.

    As for this one, I think it was pretty ingenious. But take as many steps to remove it as possible.

    lol, that's not nice. I would never virus/trojan/hack anyone, especially someone that close to me. Something's are also best unknown.. I'm sure you wouldn't have liked having your privacy invaded in the same manner. However, usually if your paranoid about a relationship there's always a good reason.. although approaching it differently would've been best. :p

    probably is because the person who hacked ricky's account didn't care much about relationships on neofriends yea :)
