I had put in my account info and password and was led to a "site is down for maintenance" page. For some reason (again, I was being stupid), I still went to the regular wow site, account management, logged in just fine, and when I saw my billing info was okay, just left (why didn't I just change my password?!). All two days before I ordered my authenticator.
Aside of, I really don't want to do a reformat. I've never done one, and I have games on this PC and I am not sure if I could reinstall them (such as CoD:MW2 and L4d2, as well as Sims3 and Dragon Age), and I don't really have the expenses to be paying someone to do it for me.
That aside, I ran a McAfee scan, came clean. Uninstalled that, bought AVG's full run, installed that, ran it, came up clean. I ran Spybot, Adaware, and then Malwarebytes, and then another AVG scan. Nothing has picked up anything! I don't know how Keyloggers work - would I have had to download something? I never had a problem with WoW crashing (a couple days after I clicked the link is when I got hacked), or randomly disconnecting me.
I also changed my battle.net email, to avoid this sort of thing in the future. I feel like an idiot, but I guess I learned my lesson.
I am just not sure if I should be trying to find a needle in a haystack. I had a friend go through certain files for me to see if anything was weird or out of place - nothing is. This desktop is pretty new, I only just got Internet back on it after maybe two weeks of playing with it, so there's really not much clutter. I don't really visit any unsecured websites. I also learned my lesson about phishing emails and how to check email headers. But would I have a keylogger? If so, how can I track it when I've used all those other things? I also used Process Scanner, and that too came up clean.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
