Infected by Keylogger [Archive] - Safer-Networking Forums

I am a MMORPG player, and 10 days ago, my account on a famous Multiplayer Game was stolen : I was at work and a friend of mine saw me connected in the game, back at home, I tried to connect, but my pass was invalid. I advised the company owner of the game and they closed temporarly my account. Now after 10 days of inquiry they sent me an e-mail with details of reasons why my account was stolen, and its specified "key logger". So they advised me to change all my passes of everything I have (mailbox pass, Internet provider pass etc), and make a scan of my PC with Spybot and few online scanner (like Avast or symantec or kapersky).

In fact the next day my account was stolen, I did a full scan with Spybot, a scan with my avast anti-virus, and a scan with symantec online scan, and nothing was detected... After that, I re-formated the HD of my pc, but before that, I made a back up of the folder where the game was installed (I mean all patches necessary to make the game work, if you don't back up that, there's 8 hours of download after a fresh install of the game), and I re-installed win XP etc... As I am paranoiac now, after that I re-scanned this folder where the game was with Avast/spybot/etc and no problem.

I am afraid with the fact that this keylogger is still on my pc, and I have no idea how to detect it. Here are my kapersky log and Hijack log, many thanks in adavance for helpîng me :

Hello Maxou

Welcome to Safer Networking.

Please read Before YouPost (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288)
That said, All advice given by anyone volunteering here, is taken at own risk.
While best efforts are made to assist in removing infections safely, unexpected stuff can happen.

From what I can see your HJT log is fine. If you had a keylogger before the damage is already done, what you need to do is use a known good clean computer and change all your passwords and log on names.

Kaspersky picked up one entry but I believe its ok, do a couple of things for me please

You need to enable windows to show all files and folders, instructions Here (http://www.xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-1916458,00.html)

C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmdow.exe Browse to this file and right click on it and go to Properties and let me know the file size.

Go to VirusTotal (http://www.virustotal.com/) and submit this file for analysis, just use the browse feature and then Send File, you will get a report back, post the report into this thread for me to see.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmdow.exe

Let me know about the file size, if it says 31kb then its nothing to worry about.

Post the VirusTotal report please

Just one thing, what do you mean by
"If you had a keylogger before the damage is already done, what you need to do is use a known good clean computer and change all your passwords and log on names."

I have to re-format my pc again with a fresh install of windows and reset all my passes ?

Maxou,

That file is safe and nothing to worry about.

Now after 10 days of inquiry they sent me an e-mail with details of reasons why my account was stolen, and its specified "key logger". So they advised me to change all my passes of everything I have (mailbox pass, InternetYou posted this. I am only going by what you said. If I could have looked at your HJT log from before you reformatted I could tell if you had a keylogger but its to late now. I see no keylogger on your current system

I have to re-format my pc again with a fresh install of windows and reset all my passes ? NO, you do not have to reformat, but you should change all your passwords to be on the safe side

You system seems safe right now, your HJT log is clean, but if things were stolen from you in the past you will have to deal with that as they show up.

How did I get infected in the first place ? Read these links and find out how to prevent getting infected again.
