    Start out by not typing in your password in risky sites. Always phishers.

    Most likely means they installed a keylogger on your computer and keep getting the new passwords you make. Do virus scans etc

    But if you want to avoid them getting your passwords via keylogger, use the on screen keyboard, to do so:

    Click Start>Run> type osk

    Then they can't tell what you typed in as your password

    Scan your whole computer and remove all the trojans you've no doubt picked up somewhere. Should sort out your problem ;)

    If you haven't already, download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware - One of the best anti-virus/anti-malwares out there, not to mention it's free. Be sure to run a full system scan as well.

    Phishers cant actually infect your computer unless you download something or open a Java Applet. Just change your password and make sure that you always read the address bar up the top of the page and check if it is runescape.com.

    As already said, the phishers doesn't actually infect your computer. You may have picked up a keylogger from somewhere else. Either way, scan your computer and good luck getting your account back in order.

    That sucks. You probably have a keylogger on your computer, they keep getting your new passwords. Try downloading a good anti-virus to remove all the trojans on your computer. Click here to access a thread which can list a bunch of good free anti-viruses. Good luck!
