yea i missed that
anyway you should be able to trace the keylogger now that you know its there, someone got one on a friends comp and just to f with his email, sent email from his account to people like ex gfs and such, somehow they figured out how to trace it and found where it was going

Few questions:
You say the perp has access, I assume you mean physical access and not over the net? How? Who was this person that you let them use your computer?
And how do you check for a keylogger if you suspect one is present?

i didnt read the rest of the thread, so im not sure if this was answered before.
did they use your debit card number? if so the process is not that painful. most banks usually refund you the money within 5 business days and they investigate upto 2 months.
most of the banks that i worked did this. i had someone use my debit card in mexico and i got the money back same day

He had physical access, he used to be a friend of mine. He knows I'm kinda well off and the guy is kinda shady, I really shoulda seen this one coming. This keylog datafile (the text file) was created over 2 months ago.
I checked for a keylogged simply by searching *.txt, I don't use text files so the only ones that should be there are ones created by programs I've installed.
I painstakingly dredged through all of them.
This one is a bit prickly as I've had some issues with the bank, they are a little bit of a smaller outfit and tend to take longer than the other banks I've had.
They said it could take up to 10 business days (2 weeks).. the investigation will last longer than that.
Summarily since I know the perp, they aren't anxious to refund the money incase I'm running some sort of scam.

So if you're behind a firewall is this mostly preventable from happening over the net?
If anyone found out it would ruffle a few feathers.
I wish there was an alternative, to be honest with you I'm afraid to ask.
The aformentioned money was supposed to be used to pay my tuition, which is due soon so it would have to be a fairly large loan.. which would be hard to hide.
