Default Key Logger?

Is there any way to check if there is a key logger on your computer and if so how to remove it?

Just found out my second GW account has been permanently terminated for payment fraud. What does that mean?

This is only 2-3 weeks after my main GW account was stolen. My AION account is also currently blocked for violations of the user policy and my WoW account is also under susicious activity.

All accounts had different user names and passwords with a minimum of twelve characters and a combination of letters and numbers.

I have not used the WoW account in 10 months. I have not used the AION or my 2nd GW account in 2 weeks as I have been busy trying to get money together again in my main GW account.

What the *beep* do I do now? Other than log a support ticket with Arena Net (which is already done). My NC master account is also unavailable as the password and my security questions have been changed.

Malware bytes found nothing. Same result with my anti-virus software, Hijack This, Spybot Search and Destroy, and Lavasoft's Ad-aware. The system continually came up clean. I don't buy gold or share the account.

Just damn well hope what ever caused it can be discovered ... only thing that springs to mind is this whole mess started just after I signed up for one of those "fill in surveys for money sites" hmm ... that facebook worm started at around the same time - another possibility maybe? I've formatted now, time for the ghastly never ending updates from Windows.

Well, there's your problem!

Hopefully, you won't try anything like that again.

If virus scanners came clean, and reformatting it doesn't work, the best thing I can suggest is taking your computer to a professional to have it cleaned up.
