Yep, scan your whole pc

and a keylogger, as the word says, logs your keys so if you type in your password it somehow stores it and someone else can easily get acces to it.

Sorry to hear these kind of things happen so much

hope i never fall victim to it.

BAH BEATEN TO IT xD

Yes I did. It only offers the option to reset the password.

EDIT:
Bad terminology, reset is misleading. I tried the reset and it does change the password.

Actually, most instances where i have seen someone hacked, the "hacker" actually does get rid of everything, just to be an .....edited myself there....

In games where the characters can be deleted, they are, and in games where the characters cant be deletes, all items, including worthless ones are dropped, as well as a clearing of the friendlist.

I tryed to create a new password on PlayNC,but it didnt work I entered in my Serial Code for Prophocies and it said:

"That serial code is apparently already in use. Please verify that it was entered correctly, and contact customer service if you still have a problem."

Man if theres any anet empolyees reading this, i hope u implement a feature similar to that of Gunbound. It has a feature that scans ur file for hax and/or key logs that are associated witht he program before u can even play the game (or something to that extent). Please use a version of this to prevent anymore hax.

Contempt · Nov 15, 2006, 09:36 PM // 21:36

Well Anet will NOT replace any lost items, characters ect... ect...

So you have two options really.

1) Start over from scratch.

2) Quit.

It's up to you, but you will never see your characters or items again, the sooner you accept that the better.

As far as why a "hacker" would delete your stuff... it's just adding insult to injury. Hacker's are malicious by nature, and really what they get enjoyment from is destroying your hard work. It's not so much about the plat, but more so about just being cruel.

Why do you think people deface websites when they get no personal gain from it? They simply enjoy destroying other people's stuff.

There should be an option when you log in to your account that you can check/uncheck box which associates your account with your PC. That would mean that your account would only be accessible from your own PC and could not be accessed remotely.

Is that a plausible idea?

@Jay. Sorry for the loss, it must be infuriating

Nabishin · Nov 15, 2006, 09:53 PM // 21:53

i just want to ask if you downloaded anything or went to any suspicous websites before logging on?

Jay Shrine · Nov 15, 2006, 09:58 PM // 21:58

^ no,not really,go on this site and guildwiki sometimes,when it works

Nabishin · Nov 15, 2006, 10:01 PM // 22:01

hmm very mind boggiling and i am very sorry for you. i hate those damn hackers

Jay Shrine · Nov 15, 2006, 10:25 PM // 22:25

can someone tell me if spy sweeper caught the right thing?

Loki Seiguro · Nov 15, 2006, 10:35 PM // 22:35

a word of advice never buy accounts online even plaync accounts. NEVER simple as that. and change your password every 2 weeks at minimum any thing after that it free game for any hacker out there. also use words and nukmbers and try not to use a phrase i used to use buttcheeks lol dont ask why ijust thought no one would use it :P to my amasment some one hacked my account or tried to while i was playing befcuase i got logged off saying someone else is trying to access your account and i quickly looged back on and changed by pass word to the minimal requirment before the hacker could get on again.

- if you get hacked while playing then log back on and switch passwords the the first thing that comnes to mind dont sit their and think or you will be hacked again and they will change your password so they can steal in peace.

other then that ive been hacked only one more time when i was offline at school and the gu7y was nicer than some of yours as he only took 50k off my accoun and left all my chars with their 15k armors untouched and their perfect weapons and greens :/ what a nice bad guy

Jay Shrine · Nov 15, 2006, 10:50 PM // 22:50

^hmm good advice,thanks,I dont know how to change my password though,its so confusing.

It doesn't sound like a keylogger, so no it probably isn't what you are looking for.

Do you only play GW on one PC? Have you ever played on a public PC or a friends? The hackers have to have 2 things to hack an account. 1. the account name 2. the password So either someone guessed at your name and password or someone knew the account name and hacked it.

Log into your account, select Edit Account on bottom left and follow the directions there.

If you have have a PlayNC account, log into the PlayNC account, select Guild Wars and then reset password.

Loki Seiguro · Nov 15, 2006, 11:03 PM // 23:03

yeah and thats why i say no plaync accounts becuase sometimes as we all know sometimes go really slow so while you are w8ing for the site to load you might have to do a log battle with the hacker (logging in constantly so that the hacker cant do anything )

RPGmaniac · Nov 15, 2006, 11:27 PM // 23:27

i think all that tribalfusion cookie does is see what websites you go to so they get an idea as to what kinds of pop-up and banner ads might actually get u to buy something
