if not everyone knows by now my account had been hacked and all my gold and items taken along with my characters. as of nw they're trying to transfer my characters back and restore them but i have no idea how long it would take.

for anyone wondering about the details... i found 4 trojan viruses in my computer.. one being trojan dropper.. which is a notrorious kelogger... the other trojans disabled my firewall and my antivirus wihtout me knowing or the comptuer detecting... as of now i am wary about logging onto anything... norton antivirus did not pick up any of these viruses but between.. spyware terminater and AVG i found and deleted them.. permanantly i do not know. this sunday i'm going to reformat and reinstall just to be safe. IE and firefox though lesser degree on firefox is subject to trojans and other little buggers. hopefully i'll be up and running on monday. everyone learn and lesson and update and be a lil paranoid. i do not want what happened to me to happen to any of you. we may not be from the same guild but we're all friends.. I DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO YOU.

btw did not see the post on the tippy top =_=... and reallie hated to post this right on top of marks good news :shake: btw congratz :lol:

We'll keep any eye on your forum account too, in case that got compromised.

If you do any thing like personal banking, etc, on your PC, its probably a really good idea to check your bank account and call them and change the passwords over the phone. Same is true of things like ebay, amazon, and the like.

Nasty business, good luck, let us know how it turns out.
