No, topic assumes this is the keylogger's logfile, which contains your password, and was likely already sent to the hackers.
It's not the keylogger itself, which will just record your password again, or your new password if you change it. The original form of this method, that I saw on Nexon forums and I believe was also posted on Basil, spoke of changing your password using the Windows on-screen keyboard so as to never type it. Seems a bit extreme.
I don't see any instructions on finding and removing the keylogger itself, and many people who got hacked report having scanned their computers with various tools and finding them squeaky clean.
A way to check if this theory of the keylogger files has any validity: if you find those suspicious files in your TEMP, delete them, change your password (normally, with keyboard) and log into the game (again, normally). If the files don't reappear, it means you have no keylogger and those files you deleted were created by something else. If they do reappear, start worrying.
