This is my everyday fear.

Sorry to hear this. To help keep the same from happening to others would you let us know what operating system you use, what service pack level, and did you keep it updated?

Once again, I am truly sorry to hear about your loss.

gdsdiscgolfe (same as here but no r)--it's locked right now because of the whole situation. I'll have to see if I get that account back or hafta make a new one.

Thanks for all the advice, help and contact guys. It certainly won't be easy getting going again, but hopefully it'll happen with some help from some great people on these boards. Still got a lot of work to do on the system and some other [censored] though.

Should I get new AIM/e-mail accounts or will reformatting and then getting new passwords be enough?

and just incase, make sure your email address doesnt have any back-up email address that youre not familiar with. and check if the 'Lost My Password' question/personal info is still the same

WTF. I've read like 6 posts of this happening to people. I wish the sites were more secure as in insured.

The sites need to give players the option of using a hardware security key.

GDS, sorry to hear it.

Thanks again everyone for all the support.

This is my first post from a completely clean, sparkling fresh hard-drive. I'll re-process today's events when I wake up. Time for some much-needed sleep.

Hey man, sorry to hear about this. Did you have any internet security suite on your computer? Any firewalls, up to date virus program? Just wondering because I have all that with the Norton Suite.

Did you find out how to prevent future keylogger attacks? If so, can you please share your newly found wisdom. This is threat #1 and I am terrified of it. Ty.
