Well, i have a problem, my other PC has a keylogger and I really dunno where its located, MCafee cant find it. I'm 100% sure it has a keylogger because every time I login on a noobacc, it gets hacked.

Anyone knows a software that detecs it?
thanks in advance

Try AVG out, also spybot S&D might be able to help you too and that's free.

Ill send ya some keys for AVG.

there are several programs like OTL which logs from them you put on some pc forum and they might check, also you should scan your pc with some good av like nod eset/kaspersky and some antyspyware like malwarebytes

This doesn't have to be a common virus/malware that strokes your keys.. it doesn't have to be a REAL Keylogger.. it can be just a simple Account reader which is using the internal bytes from the Client and makes them into strings which gives them your account&password to prevent this from happening..

Here is a checklist:

1. Check task manager for unrecognized processes (an 3rd party option is Security Task Manager which i use sometimes when i wanna know what a process really is)
2. Get yourself an FireWall with High Block on (don't know what the function is called but on maximum security and you will have to approve EVERY process that has to connect to the internet
3. None working? my advice is to save important files (Do not copy Tibia map, Only appfolder which is located in: %appdata% <- Type in run on start menu, it contains configurations and maps)

I hope this is helping you

Malware had detected like 5 trojans, dunno if one of those was a keylogger but I'll login with noobaccounts to see if they get hacked again

also tried Security task manager but nothing special came out of it

How did you get the keylogger in the first place?

Hadn't used that PC for 2 years, i think it was in some OT server files (always hosted/maked OT's on that computer) but can't really remember xd

Google Kaspersky Online Scan. And that should at least tell you where are all the virus or keyloggers

start your computer in the security mode (german: abgesicherter modus; dunno whats the english vocabulary for it), then give avira antivir a chance and start luke filewalker. wait, wait, wait and delete every detection that will popup. after you do that, reboot your computer and the keylogger, trojan, whatever, should be deleted.

other reason: try your systemrecover tool (start -> programs -> accessory, equipment, supplies (german: zubehör) -> systemprograms -> systemrecover and try to fix it to another day (e.g. 1 week ago if there is a systemrecoverpoint).

if you cant fix the keylogger, trojan problem, then you have to format c :\

hope i can help you ;)
