We had all kinds of protection and firewalls etc, but the keylogger still got through by piggybacking on a download for an update to the game. Fortunately the keylogger was only interested in stealing "assets" accumulated in the game, and not our real assets (i.e. bank account or credit card info). We haven't had problems since. That could be because of the Spy Doctor software, or it could be because Microsoft tightened its security after this incident. (It was so bad that the Customer Service phone lines for the game had to be shut down!)

[> Chris: I just had the same pop-up on my pc. It is a trojan virus, and even took over my Windows (couldn't access my control panel) I tried several spyware removers, and the darned thing kept coming back! I had to spend some $, but I finally found a spyware remover that distroyed it. If you have the spyware on yours that I had, you will need a STRONG anit-spyware remover. -- Greta, 09:20:42 09/01/07 Sat [1]
