Where did you create the vanity address? Did you have 2-factor set up? You don't need to throw out your comp but I wouldn't use it to store or send bitcoins unless you know its safe as you could have some keylogger malware.

Im throwing it away :-( i already have new one paid for i was about to go pick up before i seen this


Well if you're going to get a new computer, make sure to have extensive security measures installed.

As for me, what I do is use Linux.

Linux's software installation model prevents you from getting infected by malware and viruses.

When you know how to use it  ...

LOL, do you know that Linux has now graphical installers right? It's not hard anymore. That was a valid argument 10 years ago.
