I got a wow trail last week then i decided i wanted to play again so i got a mate to use refer a friend, i then played that account up till level 65 but today when i went to log on, it said i was banned permanently.

i am now writing on my trail account bound to the same battle net account as my banned account As i went to log in to this forum to get help, my main character was greyed out (my level 65 shaman) and i was unable to post, i figured sure thats because i'm banned but there where also two new character made that i NEVER made, So i'm sure i got hacked, i right away downloaded a lot of anti virus stuff and cleaned my com and found a few virus's. The new characters where:

Ninadesrwp lvl 1 blade's edge
oprahdesvui lvl 1 bloodscalp

I KNOW ive been hacked i just bought this account and upgraded to burning crusade, my account probably been used to move gold or something. i just want to get my account back, i sent an email to blizzard, but i have done that before and experience tells me there either never going to reply or take 2 months... any help anyone can provide will be much appreciated

This was indeed used for bad things, Dazz.

You need to find the source of this - and follow up with Account Administration as a compromise.

Unless you find the source of this, the chances of it happening again are VERY high.

You may also want to look into getting an authenticator for your account. It's no substitute for good security habits, but it will help keep them out of your WoW account.
