I tried to log on earlier today to find my account suspended for "Abuse of the Economy". turnes out i was hacked and all my stuff was sold. I sent an e-mail to whatever place the compromised security page told me to (yea I am too lazy to go find it and link it here). Within 3 hours they have returned all my gold and items, reactivated my account and randomly generated a new password for me. Time to buy an authenticator. Anyway..thanks again to whoever did this for me.

one more question though...what is a good (free) program to use to scan my comp for Trojans/maleware/key-loggers. Avast only found 1 thing when I did a search and it was saying it was that an audio book I have was a Trojan but no other security issues...if I was hacked I don't trust that there is nothing else on my comp. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you again.

Oh my, Bst - really really - you should get your security in order FIRST :)

But this link may prove useful. Remember when scanning just a few things.

    1. No one scanner is going to find everything
    2. There is a difference between scanners primarily aimed at virus/trogans and adware/spyware.
    3. Running at least one of each is recommended, but one at a time.
    4. When scanning, have the launcher open with a bit of gibberish typed into the password fields.
    5. Always update your scanners IMMEDIATELY before scanning.
