#1 make new addresses on a different machine and change to the new ones everywhere you get payment from. this way you dont loose more #1.5 if you have used the same password elsewhere, change it asap #2 shutdown the infected machine, backup data from an external OS (e.g. linux boot cd) and make a fresh install. dont bother to backup your wallet its compromised anyway #3 bite your ass and never run anything strange on a machine with a wallet again. make a VM for stuff like that or better keep your wallet on an old machine that does nothing else. |
