Hacked again idk what to do

Since the last time where the hacker took ~600k nx worth of item and nx. I changed my password, my pic, my email.. to no avail! I've been hacked again. This time the hacker took my 11atk pac from MTS and ~30k worth of nx. I'm really out of ideas, I could xfer out all the items to a new acc, but that would take much time not to mention my remaining nx on the "hacked" account.. If I have some form of keylogger, how can I know i've been infected with one? Please help me out

Looks like something you'd see in a movie, a rich drug dealer gets his butt chased down by a load of people.
I probably couldn't handle the stress.

hey, you should reformat your computer, get some good antivirus (such as windows live essentials) make a new account, but DON'T put that account on basil, or say that that account is actually osJIN.

[quote=Stickyn]Well all i got to say is he is not rich people its that he most certanly has a job and he spends his money on this game if you think of it as a hobby of a sort. so whats the dif if he spent 20 bucks a night to be entertained or pay 20 bucks a week on this game? well to the point if you are worried about a key logger microsoft has their own security its called "Microsoft Security Essentials" ill post a link it has helped me many many times what i do is i update or serch for updates every few days and once a week i simply run a full scan. I also got a little link its called "God mode" serch it up it basicly gives me alot of things i can not normaly do its like the backround mega admin i would say. It has a feture to restore to a previous backup that the computer made. I have that so if i get a serious virus i can restore to when
the virus has not hatched and i can run the scan their to get rid of it. Sorry for the bad spelling and sorry if its too long for you to read. here is the link.

ps its free. and from microsoft ! i highly recomend this to anyone.[/quote]

Thanks i'll also look into that. I'd highly appreciate it if rumors weren't spread even if they are from the results of 'well though-out' (?) assumptions. Thanks again.

@above, I was also thinking about that if keyloggers are implemented to never be found wouldn't the antivirus/antimalware efforts be in vain? Btw what is a malware and a virus?

According to a lot of the tech people here on basil, keyloggers aren't detected by anti-virus softwares?
So if that's true, you're going to have to reformat your computer/laptop.

[quote=SJzombi]While i'm on this subject could you please tell me about what an antivirus program does? What is AVG? Does it protect against MalWare? What is MalWare? I'm a complete novice...[/quote]

AVG will basically protect you from any infections and you can schedule scans to search for any viruses roaming in your computer. Also I recommend you download malwarebytes, it basically scans your computer for any malware and is really good at it. When you're scanning though leave your computer on for around 2hours cause it will take a lot of memory if your computer is old. pm me if you want more info

[quote=Kor3anboi23]I've heard that isn't the best idea. I've played ms for nearly 4-5years and used AVG nearly the whole way through and wasn't hacked once.[/quote]

If you're not sure, scan your pc with an antimalware software, antivirus (of course up to date). that's all I can think of... don't visit hacking sites (I'm not saying that you do, but just in case), of course don't download anything .exe from those sites. Or take this crazy option and whip your comp/laptop back when it was new, make backups in portable hard disks (scan this too before makingback up and before transfering the back up files back to your laptop/comp).

Malwarebytes is a good software to scan your pc/ laptop.

[quote=SJzombi]I'm super duper not tech savy, but if I back up my hardrive woudln't the keylogger still be embedded in the files? (I don't really know how it works.)
@above, is that a free program?zzz[/quote]

That depends on what you transfer over.
Only safe way is to run [b]multiple[/b] anti-virus/spyware programs.

And yes, I know transferring items is a pain in the ass (yesterday I spent like an hour just transferring...), but it could save you from another hack attempt.
Chances are its the same hacker; who somehow had (still has?) access to your account for a while, seeing as he didn't take much out of your total nx.

And use another computer to transfer/access other accounts.

Sorry to hear that.
If you have a keylogger, I think it's better to copy pasta your password/ID.

I don't need your unmannered comments on who the fool is, all i'm asking for is help to resolve this issue. Thanks.

@above, wouldn't that mean all my other files will be deleted?
Is there a way to 100% know that I have a keylogger?
