    If he does it he won't really be safe after format anyway lol, since he doesn't know where the key logger is located. If you are too lazy to download antyvirus program, just try some online scanner, ie. http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/
    If you are Windows 8 user you can also scan your computer with Windows Defender which should be good enough for most viruses.

    He doesn't need to know where it is if hes gonna reformat since it will wipe everything, ergo no more keylogger.

    @Gordo How'd you get one anyway?

    @Hendy
    Well, not really if he wants to back stuff up on flash drive. It wouldn't be active/running tho until he ran the infected file again.

    @Gordo
    Are you sure you got one? If u have Avast installed you should be pretty safe.

    @Hendy i can only think of 2 things that i downloaded that could have cause this (maybe 3 but unlikely).
    1.a tibia 8.6 client, from tibia-client
    2. a ip changer from the same page ^^^
    3.a new version of tibia cast and xenobot <- this is the unlikely ones....

    those where the only things i downloaded related to tibia before one of my money makers account was hack... didn't loose much like 1kk.. but i want to prevent this from happening again.. the other theory may be that that i was a random hack, but that is really unlikely

    @Nakuu it has to be.. what else could explain the hack? before i had install those programs^^^^^^ nothing had happen... i install and couple days later BAM!

    Maybe you registered somewhere using the same password as your tibia or email account? Or if your account name was the same as your character's name and your password wasn't too complicated it could be easy to just crack it

    @tibiacast, did you download it right, because when visting the site it says;
    Do not visit Tibiacast through Google! Hackers are paying Google to appear in the sponsored results (AdWords).
