Smapla Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 you probably have a keylogger, you need to scan your computer with antivirus software and remove it, or he/she will be able to keep getting it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraphi Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Yeah, the only thing it could be is a keylogger. Unless theres somebody staring at you through a window with a laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magzar Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 or someone knows the answer to your security questions, or you keep picking the same password, or a number of other possibilities [hide]Damnit, I tripped over Magzar's half inflated blow-up doll and hurt myself. I wish he wouldn't leave that thing lying around. -.-[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loge_05 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I'm assuming you have a keylogger. Moved to the correct forum: you'll receive a better response here. Offline and unavailable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert_Rdam Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I'd say, change your password on another computer, one without a keylogger. And then clean up your own computer, that's the safest way to do it because your account will be safe. Credits to Skully Sc for the signature.

cypherfire Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 tried. on my laptop now. avia antivius scan shows nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldJoe Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Is hope Avira is up to date? Download Ad-aware and Spybot:search&destroy (you can keep both, but don't have them active 24/4 - just on-demand scanning), update and scan. You could also try Pandas online-scanner (Avira is great, but just for safety precausions). Install any updates to Windows available (i assume you got Windows).

noble_aloof Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 a few steps that i would take: 1. change password on a secure computer 2. ctrl-alt-del and look at what's running (only for nooby keyloggers) 3. delete or do a google search on any runescape related programs you have, the google search is to see what viruses they typically carry, so you can go and bleach the files. 4.update virus scanners, and possibly try a netstat? highly unlikely you'll find anything using netstat, there is a chance though.5 5. you could TRY an online virus scanner, make sure it is trusted though, you need to be sure that its not mining your data or installing malware while scanning (happened to me) [size="5"][font="Georgia"][b]Staking:[/b][/font][font="Palatino Linotype"][color="#FF0000"][/color][color="#FFFF00"][/color][color="#00FF00"] 4+ mil[/color][/font] [font="Georgia"][b]Current Status:[/b][/font][font="Palatino Linotype"][color="#FF0000"][/color][color="#0000FF"] Training defense [/color][/font][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
