Keylogger virus

203846930

I suspect that I may have a keylogger virus on my PC, I have run Bitdefender a couple of time and it has come up clear but I am still unsure.

I got a 'ransom' email the other day that quoted one of my password in the text and saying they wanted payment 'or else'
If there is a keylogger then I don't want to go and change all my logins and thus give them all my new details.
Any suggestions

I've received ransom emails quoting a password I only use for competition entries. They are usually obtained from them hacking the database of a website you've registered rather than a keylogger

I got this answer but not sure what it actually means

Oh no — pwned!

Pwned on 5 breached sites and found no pastes (subscribe to search sensitive breaches)

 So yes your password and possibly other details have been obtained via a breach. If you look at the list it will say hat information was taken and from where. 

 So you do need to stop using that password. Use different passwords for each site.

So it is unlikely to be a keylogger then and I can safely use my keyboard to change my passwords

 I'd say so yes, especially if your scan is showing nothing.

Thanks for your help, this was a first for me.
I have bookmarked that Pwned site for future use.

Consider using a password manager on a completely separate device, such as a mobile phone. I use 1Password on an iPhone and find it particularly straightforward... it uses different colours for numbers and letters, minimising mixing up O and 0, 1 and l, etc.

I don't have access to another device
