For 0.78 BTC you just got a very inexpensive lesson in security. Don't let those coins be spent for naught.

Agree. Already had cold storage so was trying to be diligent, just hadn't moved since withdrawing from BTC-e. Definitely have learned a lesson. Keep hot balances low and only access bitcoin-qt from clean/sandboxed computer that I don't do my daily surfing on to avoid any type of java/javascript exploits. Recommend the same for others.

I also just uninstalled java from my machine.

I re-imaged my Windows laptop from the recovery partition to get rid of it (and the creepy taskbar it installed on my browser.) But my Windows machine is used irregularly for limited things which are not practical on my main workstations so it was relatively easy for me to do. Backed up what few interesting docs I had in mega.co.nz before performing this action.

Now I don't even like to allow Microsoft or HP to install updates. Since phone vendors are so willing to pre-install rootkits, and OS vendors seem happy to make that possible, it seems likely to me that commercial laptop and workstation vendors would be happy to follow suit. The momentum behind the trend to make the Internet significantly more invasive seems to be building at an alarming rate.

BTW, so far my blockchain.info wallet seems fine in spite of the phone hack and gmail theft. This seems to lend strength to the idea that the issue of this thread is not Android related.
