sevink Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Will try to keep this short and get to the problem quick.I run Windows Vista x64 - Home PremiumYesterday my world of warcraft account got hacked and my password was changed. I contacted blizzard and told them what was happening and they are working to resolve the issue, all I can do is wait for that.I ran spyware checks, registry cleaners & antivirus checks immediately but the problem is, they all fail at 99%. They get near the end, and just will never finish (or won't update) I reformatted completely this morning and ran them all again, same problem.I have tried what must have been 20+ anti-virus, anti-spyware, registry cleaners & defenders but I just can't get rid of this keylogger, virus or whatever it is. Maybe it's something in the registry? I'll post some screenshots at the bottom of the post to show what I mean.I'm stuck now, I had access to a family member's internet & PC to log on to sites and change my passwords etc just in case, but the PC (at the moment) is useless and I can't fix it. Has anyone got any ideas what this is about? I can't see a resolution, is buying a new hardrive my only option? and starting fresh?If any more info is needed feel free to ask Thanks in advanceAd-aware errorshttp://img404.imageshack.us/img404/6484/adawareerror1zp6.jpghttp://img339.imageshack.us/img339/8527/adawareerror2px3.jpghttp://img341.imageshack.us/img341/1658/ad...nresultsbr9.jpg(no matter how long I leave it on, never moves from that percentage done)Eusing Free Registry Cleanerhttp://img120.imageshack.us/img120/8486/eu...trycleanrc2.jpg(always comes up with the same results no matter how many times I search/fix) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andro1d Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 I would do what Besttechie and also a quick note.Unless you are comparatively knowledgeable about your version of Windows, you can certainly do more harm to your computer's functioning than any small improvements made by registry cleaners warrant. There are safer methods to employ to speed performance, and these usually produce noticeable results. See this link for a start.http://users.telenet.be/bluepatchy/miekiem...owcomputer.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 I reformatted completely this morning and ran them all again, same problem. If this is true, then you are completely clean of malware and your issue lies elsewhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
