What antivirus software did you use that eventually discovered the trojan that your normal scans failed to find?
I have read that some keyloggers are invisible to most antivirus as well as process explorer and can bypass firewalls by attaching to valid programs.
Does anyone know a sure-fire low-level way to detect keyloggers. Like pressing a key a 100 times and seeing if memory is getting consumed, or file writes occurring that shouldn't be happening, or using router logs somehow?
For the truely paranoid, you can do this, as posted by 'someone' on sw:
"My advise would rather be, if you very want to change password on Nexon site, go and get yourself something like Ubuntu Live CD, reboot into it, then change the password using a browser on the Live CD and make it the first thing you do and then log on to your email account and delete the mail that nexon sent to you with the password on it, and don't visit any other website at all on the same boot session. This way you can be sure that:
1. there was no key logger on the system.
2. there can't be any exploit from other site that would affect you when you log into your Nexon account.
3. If there were exploit that attack windows system sitting on Nexon site(since windows is expected), it would not work."
The Linux image is 690Mb, so its taking a while to download. Like i said, for the paranoid.
