peterbluer Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 The title says it all. A few days ago I got a virus, and it says I have a keylogger(and I obviously thought it was an ad), and now I accidentally logged in to my character(wasn't paying attention). Can someone help me get rid of it? My brothers and I already tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruiser Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 If you don't already have a virus scanner, I suggest you get AVG, install it and update it. Other programs you should go get if you don't already have them are Spybot S&D and Adaware. All of these are completely free so don't freak out if you see a donation link. After installing those, make sure they are up to date. Restart your computer and before the windows loading screen appears, press and hold/tap the F8 key several times. You should get a menu with several "safe mode" options you can arrow through. Select one of them ("Safe mode with networking" recommended so you have internet access) and run virus and spyware scans from there. You might also try using TrendMicro's online virus scanner too.

Biabf Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 I use Spyware Doctor, it is amazing. I would really suggest getting it to get rid of the keylogger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitman247m Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 This is off the runescape site: 7. Make sure your computer is secure! Most windows distributions are NOT secure unless you take some basic precautions: If you use windows get the latest updates and security fixes for your computer from http://www.windowsupdate.microsoft.com This is a MUST! Install some up to date anti-virus software. I personally use Norton-Antivirus. Alternatively you can get a free virus scanner from http://www.grisoft.com Install a firewall to protect your computer from external attacks. You can get free firewall software from http://www.zonealarm.com Be very careful about what programs you run to avoid a trojan being installed on your machine. For more information about Trojans, and how to remove them see http://www.hackfix.org.
