Thanks for the help btw!
While Pando
might have been what stole the bitcoins, it's also possible that something else did it.
There is a lot of malware that virus scanners and malware scanners don't know about. If you have something like Pando on your computer (which a good virus scanner would have caught), then I tend to suspect the possibility that you have other malware on your computer as well (that your scanner doesn't know about).
It's up to you how much risk you want to take with your computer and bitcoins.
Generally, you'll be MUCH safer if you get yourself a cheap computer to keep permanently disconnected from the internet and use something like Armory Offline or Electrum Offline for your wallet. These options keep your private keys permanently offline where a virus or malware can never gain access to them, while keeping it relatively easy to send transactions from an online computer.
If a second, permanently offline, computer is more than your budget would allow, then I'd suggest re-installing the whole system as well as avoiding freeware, pirated software, and most browser plugins. Make sure you have a good firewall and a good malware scanner. If at all possible, avoid Windows.
