I doubled check my antivir now and I really have installed AVG Antivir AND Microsoft Essentials, but both were not enough to prevent the thief. However, a wallet without password protection was really dumb, life learns you the hard way, even if in that case it was not very hard at least.
Yes a password is a must, with keepass you are also protected against keyloggers. Anti Virus is not a critical issue anymore. It is something you keep to make you feel safe and to hold of the old shit from last year, but the viruses and trojans that are currently active are seldomly known to anti viruses devs. I am a bit behind with my Ct reading, but I trust their judgement.
The OS is a legit copy, but after a complete scan of the system the antivir found three threats:
#1 "Virus found: Win32/Zperm, C:\Windows\Temp\49f48af4-b402-4745-9e9c-26cfb8983c1f\tmp0000116d\tmp00006408";"Saved"
#2 "Trojan: PSW.OnlineGames4.ZUJ, D:\buddha.dll";"Saved"
#3 "Trojan: CoinMiner.ASJ, C:\Users\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\ZLLU0VPX\wmpnetwk[1].dll";"Saved"
From #3 and #1 I think you got infected while using IE, so a drive by infection most likely. Those few minutes while you are out there to get a safe browser... Oh well. Whats buddha.dll though? A quick research suggests sleeping dogs or Call of Duty Black Ops 2. I didnt dig to deep, but I suspect a pirated version/cheat/etc. I wouldnt know why an official release would require a download via 2shared. So #1 and #3 might have followed after you got the dll somewhere insecure. Again, I dont judge, I dont require an answer, just think about where you might have gotten the file.
Aaanyway seems like you are taking a safer route for now. While I usually argue that your own machine is safer than some server on the internet, this depends on what you are doing with your machine.
