    So I was trolling on 2+2 BBV and there was a thread about a Full Tilt employee stealing 200k or whatnot, and it was in video form. It said I needed to download a new version of Java, and I thought nothing of it. It turns out it was some kinda of hack and with all the problems with accoutns getting hacked I am now very worried. Plz help me get rid of this problem as soon as possible. Thanks.

    get snoop free and make sure your antivirus and firewall are up to date. If you like download a copy of highjack this and do a scan and save log. Post it here or you can PM me and I will take a look at it.

    Reformant your computer its the best way. I got hacked back about 5 months ago and I ran antivirus changed password on differnt computers and my stars account still got hacked. I had to wipe my harddrive clean to be safe and it worked

    Another good program to have is Microsofts Process Explorer. It shows you the location that each process is running from. It's a much more comprehensive program than Task Manager. It's free too. While you're there you might as well get Rootkit Revealer and scan for rootkits to feel a little more secure. Internet:Serious Business.
