Bitcoin works only with internet.

Sign tx on offline computer and broadcast on online computer. Does this not work?

I'm pretty sure you are using stupid Windows, switch to Ubuntu and run your bitcoin wallet there. Sorry for you lost buddy...

+1 Ubuntu or any other GNU/Linux. I have been using Ubuntu since 2006. As for Microsoft Windows entering any Bitcoin (or for that matter fiat banking) related password into a Microsoft Windows computer is a financial risk I simply cannot afford.

Hello?

Original poster? Still out there?

Bunch of questions above. Im sure everyone here wants to know the details so this can be avoided.

Any anomalies?

junzone, more information (in English) would be really helpful.

In particular can you take your computer to a PC repair shop and get its drive imaged for forensic analysis? If you could find a virus sample that did this, it would be tremendously helpful.

Armory has a very good concept. I compiled it on Linux and was running until the next system update.
I really don't like to compile it after every update and it is not so comfortable to use it.
It would be more practical an implemented virtual keyboard in the Satoshi client with customizable size, transparency, drag and drop support and delayed hover entry(instead of key-pressed) to fool keyloggers.

Step 1: Buy USB key.
Step 2: Install Ubuntu Live USB thingie.
Step 3: Copy the HTML file for BitAddress.org onto the USB.
Step 4: Use the USB and the HTML file offline.
Step 5: Under the "Wallet Details"-tab write your OWN private keys.
Step 6: Print the key/address pairs onto 3-4 pieces of paper (possibly on an offline/old printer etc.).

This takes care of every cyber attack possible and is doable cheaply for most people.

This also makes wallet.dat corruption impossible.

Or buy a CoinLockr which has done all for you. Works well. coinlockr.com

If you use a program like Armoury then you can transfer Bitcoins you only want to spend rather than store everything on one wallet like the OP seems to have done, the best and really only viable long term solution to a hacker going after your PC is to unplug it from the internet, everything else is just a delaying tactic.

Yes I know it but it is an overkill for simple private use and it is very uncomfortable also. May be if you are moving thousands of bitcoins daily.
Just encrypt the wallet with a long password and use it on a clean cheap laptop with linux.
If you use on windows on your game-PC just encrypt your wallet and activate an anti-key-logger like Neo's Safekeys when you put your password to transfer.
Of course if you have higher amount the bigger part should not be directly available in the bitcoin directory but could remain on the same PC in another wallet encrypted a second time with 7z, rar or truecrypt in another directory.

Cuddling, censored, unicorn-shaped troll.

Is there any home-made soft to get all the leafs from a given tx root, from parsing blockchain ?
Cause this one is just insanely deep, there has been A LOT of movements, coins are mostly dust spread all over.

The advice actually is very useful!

You should not keep a wallet on a computer with an internet connection but you should keep your wallet in a hardware wallet like Trezor http://www.bitcointrezor.com/faq/ So you cannot lose your coins!
