I did a scan upfront on total virus, but it says bitcoinminer which was in my eyes not harmfull. After the hack I installed trend micro antivirus and it says trojan.
Guess I have to find another hobby.
I'm sorry to hear that. You just scared me into doing everything I'm suppose to do with these coins.
1. Encrypt wallet with password generated by Keepass. Then unlock for staking only.
2. Back up wallet to DVD.
3. Run all new programs in sandboxie, until I trust them. I may start running my browser under sandboxie too. I hate the internet. You have to go through a million steps, to make yourself more secure. Then some hacker comes up with ways to circumvent them all. (sigh)
OR use linux ... or a vps that is linux based ...
i feel for you ...
this is the reason i moved completely away from windows ... and i mean completely ...
it wont be that difficult to make a dual boot system or setup a small machine with a large hdd for all the wallets and have that running under linux ...
my own desktop is fedora 21 x64 - and that thing just runs ... without any backhanded issues with ANYONE hacking into it ...
i have to admit - there is a few times where you will get frustrated due to the lack of support that some devs will refuse to put in for a linux build - but believe me when i say that there is NOTHING like peace of mind for your coins ...
its not completely failsafe - the weakest link here is the us the user - but its miles ahead of any windows insecurities ...
still do backups and make sure your system is secure - that goes without saying ...
a small computer with a large hdd ( for the blockchains - depending on how many coin wallets you may have ) and ( in my case ) fedora installed is all i need to stop thieves dead in their tracks ... and that is not even including the LONG encryption password i have for all my wallets ...
small advice - for piece of mind ...

Just wanted to highlight that. Cannot be stressed enough.
I'm also using GNU/Linux, only. As my work/private/trading/coins/dev machine. Didn't have any incident, and that machine runs this very operating system since 5+ years. No incidents, so far.
What I wanted to add is that just switching to GNU/Linux won't just solve all problems in an instant. One has to accumulate a lot of knowledge, because it requires a completely different way of thinking. Though, if getting used to that, it's a more logical, simpler one.
But getting used to a real user management system, rights management, the structure of the file system, literally anything, requires some time. No way around that.
