    Need help, made a dumb mistake lol

    Okay so i opened my email and had one from "[email protected]" with the fallowing msg:
    Stupidly after clicking the link i realized that jagex doesnt send emails to warn of offences, all of my valuables have been transfered over to a well trusted friend. what i need is how to locate the keylogger (assuming there is one and im just paranoid) and a way to get rid of it.

    For extra security, i ask that my account on sythe be locked so that there is no risk that it be used to scam someone.
    Please do not trade with "[email protected]" until this whole thing is sorted out.
    Thank you.

    Did you download or run anything? If not then I don't believe you have gotten a keylogger.

    Pretty well written message. Is it connected to your RS account?

    Anyways, I found 37 trojans on my comp by using Spybot Search and Destroy (lol I sound like I'm trying to sell you a product). It's free to download, just google it. It'll also rid of any cookies/trackers.

    Takes at most 15 minutes to complete the scan, varies from comp to comp though. I'd definitely download S&D if you do not already have it.

    Best of luck man!

    Jagex doesn't email, they will send you an ingame message. I would scan your computer just incase and then just move on withit, be sure to change your password too.

    Is a phishing site, if you didn't put your rs info after clicking the link then you should be good.

    You are not infected unless you ran a Java applet or downloaded a file. Otherwise you are all good.

    Run Malwarebytes anyway.

    Phishing sites generally don't have malicious scripts running to install keyloggers / rats on your computer. As you don't get weird java messages either when playing runescape it would look suspicious.

    You're totally fine, unless you got asked to run a java applet and clicked run.

    These emails have been circulating through Sythe members email's. Probably, the link in the email was a phish attempt. As many others have said, Jagex LTD would not email you to inform you about an infraction received on your account. http://sythe.org/showthread.php?t=1038846 - you can check here to find more about these types of emails.
    Regarding the Keylogger- A simple virus scan would beable to detect any trojans/viruses on your computer, although if you didn't download or run anything, you probably didn't recieve a keylogger.
