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!

literally just got that email. have checked all 3 of my botting accounts and all are clean from msgs saying anything about an infraction

 

[mMegatron]

and yes leaf it is connected to one of my rs accounts

 

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.

 

[HappyFace01010]

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

Run Malwarebytes anyway.

 

[just un dude]

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.

 

[my hairy balls]

you should be safe as long as you didnt put any info

 

[shot08]

scan your computer for anyfiles running without your permission maybe ?

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.
