You must use 2-factor authentication. Google Authenticator is good, free, and on tons of platforms.

And yes, MtGox supports it.

Not sure how I can say this strongly enough:
Your entertainment computer is NOT the computer you use for real money transactions.
For clarity: BitcoinTalk counts as entertainment, and any computer your kids have touched is now an entertainment computer.

do something secure, with money, in internet, without a OTP generator??? 
you can gain hundred dollars and do not buy yubikey?
yubikey is not an insurance, but almost there...
is very very important, like a bank token, one thing to do absolutely when you are in mtgox, like account verification...

Have you reported the crime?
Report it to who? To the even bigger dumbasses?

Is there any way to nullify a transaction on the BTC network? Flag it as fraudulent somehow?

#23.What will you do about stolen coins ? How will you help the rightful owner ?
By definition the rightful owner of any coins is "he who can send them". If you take issue with that, please stick to fiat. You are not ready for Bitcoin yet.

For something like this you don't really know what caused it. It could just as easily be phishing as malware.
You know if you are dealing with a couple thousand dollars it makes sense to buy a dedicated Linux laptop just to handle all your bitcoin stuff. They cost like 300$ probably the best investment you could make.
I uninstalled Java a couple months ago when the Department of Homeland Security issued a Java exploit warning, i recently reinstalled Java in order to get Vuze to work so I could see what the Mother of Dragons was up to this week. I've just uninstalled Java again...

Nope. Reinstall Windows. Is there any way to nullify a transaction on the BTC network? Flag it as fraudulent somehow?

C:\Users\"username"\AppData\Roaming\WinDir is listed in MSconfig, this OS is going down for the last time. Thanks guys! FML
Switching to Linux? 
You can also use Google Authenticator on your smart phone. Then you don't have to wait for the Yubikey to arrive.

I've uninstalled Java and ran DRweb CureIt and MalwareBytes. I run AVG for my daily antivirus. What am I looking for exactly?
Open up Task Manager and try to find a suspicious process. Some have weird lettering like 6jmok65e.exe, others would disguise themselves as svhost.exe(the real being svchost.exe). Most system processes are located in C:\Windows\System32.

That IP seems to have caused trouble for others too https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1887735
In a nutshell, you might have been infected with a virus.
In a nutshell, you might have been infected with a virus.
1. Epic username
2. There are plenty of trojans targeting Bitcoins these days (ESPECIALLY MT GOX)
3. Don't install and give full permission to crappy video players that ask you for a Java update on a bitcoin related website.
2. It's likely the virus is still operating on his computer logging in keystrokes and whatnot, if he visited his e-mail, other exchange accounts he is likely compromised even further.

No, the whole point of Bitcoin is no chargebacks. Is there any way to nullify a transaction on the BTC network? Flag it as fraudulent somehow?

You could call the Bitcoin Police and have them take a report. jk

At 8:30PM PST tonight I received an email notification that money had been transfered out of my Mtgox account totalling $2777 USD. Somebody who accessed my account bought BTC at 128.9 and then transfered the entire contents of my account out except for $7.00 .I was logged into my own computer at the time in Bellevue,WA. The trade notification from MTGOX lists the IP as 63.141.253.124 which shows in the state of Kansas. I have opened three help tickets with MTGOX, two were closed with no notes or notification and no response in the last hour twenty.
My question for the forum;
Is there any recourse on my side?
Has this happened to anybody else?
Will I get my money back?
If i get my money back I will immeadiately purchase a Yubikey for some two-factor authentication
THanks,
