I've seen quite a few people getting "hacked" over the past few weeks, so i'll just write a few tips on how to spot a keylogger/Trojan and some other stuff.
1. Most .tk sites with downloads usual have keyloggers, people that place keyloggers in programes don't usually spend money on a good domain as it's usual closed down after a few people find the logger.
2. Most keylogger are around 80kb's unless they're been stuffed with ocx's to make it look genuine.
3. Why do you feel the need to download something just because it's there?
8/10 times you download something that is not widely used or made by a company it's a trojan.
4. Now this is how most people seem to get "hacked", downloading games like CS and BHD off a programme like limewire or kazaa 10/10 the programme will not be clean, millions of people downloads these files and most of them edit the file by attaching many keyloggers, so if you download a game or another exe file from limewire or kazaa there will be 100's of people that will be able to see what you're typing and i can assure you, one of them will know what habbohotel or runescape is, so either buy the game or don't play it, simple.
5. A bank pin is a MUST, keyloggers don't pick up bank pins and they take
6 - 7 days to delete and i can assure you that you'll be able to reset your account within 6 days.
EDIT: This is to do with runescape as many people on it keep getting hacked. :]
