hacked

[tharyn1]

friday i was hacked, i take reasonable steps to protect myself and the information on my comp. after i logged to find my password changed i logged into blizzards password retrieval page and recovered my info. i the emptied the wtf folder and removed all adds. i the used ccleaner , superantispware and spybot s&d, i have since removed norton and replace it with comodo(firewall). and even switch to firefox. what else do i need to do to ensure this doesn't happen again or that i'm even clean? the only adds i have now are from here. and my scans found , malware-spywarenuker and trojan-hipoint.installer.

What antivirus software are you using? The fact that you removed Norton and have not mentioned any other is disturbing to me.

spybot search and destroy, superantispyware and i just installed avira. and i think the last is what i am going to stick with

Just to be certain (in case it was this particular Trojan) you can follow these steps:

Neither spybot nor superantispyware (the latter of which I have never heard of before) are antivirus programs. I recommend going to freeav.com and picking up AntiVir.

or AVG (there is a free one for personal use).

AVG is a great program for freeware

You can also use Avast Antivirus. It carries some real time protection with it, including scanning e-mail. It has caught a couple of virus's for me and removed them. Currently I have changed to Bitdefender (Internet Suite). It has a game mode and only cost like $50 for a year for 3 computers. No virus's since I have gotten it and I have a 14 year old daughter that loves to go to dangerous sites.
Also Zonealarm offers an good suite for about the same price and is very highly ranked. Pus I believe it has a game mode also.
