My account has never been hacked in my entire time on WoW (2005 through present) until I started using the Arelog / Honorbuddy together in MoP. I used Honorbuddy in Catacylsm and never had a single problem, so my suspicion is on Arelog. I am continuously getting hacked every 3-4 weeks. I am sure it is probably the same person. I have used every virus scanner and anti-spy bot that I can think of to clear me of this problem, but I continue to be hacked. Anyone else having similar problems? Any suggestions on how to eliminate this problem? Any particular scanners / virus protection that can help? The reason I believe it is Honorbuddy or Arelog is because I never get a virus / spybot alert & it seems that some program which I am allowing to access my computer is the culprit. Thanks for any advice.
My opinion is that neither Buddy or Relog has any sort of "keylogger" If there were people would be causing a shit storm on the forums. Maybe you are opening scam emails? could be a number of things. My advice? Stop using relog and use an authenticater if you think that's the culprit.
Done that? http://www.thebuddyforum.com/buddy-bots/announcements/96688-our-build-server-infected-keylogger.html
I checked over all the places where this thing could be hiding. Are there any other updates or news on where this thing could be in my registry? I am concerned that I may have this virus because I experienced the symptoms....starting Honorbuddy or Arelog and watching the screen flash, yet nothing happens. Also, I ran Windows Security Essentials, as the one thread instructed, however it found nothing......how is this possible?
If your concerned that your infected with a keylogger, you could look at your incoming and outgoing connections to see anything suspicious.
I did not have the authenticator until tonight. I just added it after this instance. Someone mentioned that I could check my connections if I am concerned about a keylogger. How would I do this & how could I tell if something is suspicious?
There are a few ways to get hacked 1. use same password and email for wow and websites 2. you dont have a firewall/antivirus 3. you fall for phishing emails etc Honorbuddy has a very respectable staff and wouldnt do that, they arent chinese.
I had the same thing happen to me but it happened wile I was online no DC was recorded I used Ad aware and it found a bunch of stuff and since them not been hacked the hack was before christmas about a two weeks before.
