I started using the D2Loader provided in the download section of this site a whiles back. It was the only 3rd party program I was using with Diablo 2, and I had been pretty vigilant about other programs. Regardless, I logged on the other day with the same old hacked account pity story. My two best equipped characters were stripped of all their valuables, including self-found items which rules out ruststorm or the like.
I consider it a grace since I had most of my stuff still, but it still sucks. So I tried to figure out how it happened, downloaded this program called Advanced Anti Keylogger after searching around the net for the best one.
Lo and behold, after openning up Diablo 2 through the loader, nothing showed up. I clicked in the password box, pressed one key, and the Anti Keylogger flagged it as logging my keystrokes.
I think this explains the phenomenon I experienced where I would type in my account or be typing while playing and all the letters would be entered in backwards. "Golem" would turn out as "meloG" etc. Something about keylogger disfunction maybe?
Anyways, I figured I should post this on the website, and I am curious to see what others have to say about this. Since this occurred I've ran Diablo 2 without the loader and changed my passwords, and have gotten the Anti Keylogger to block keylogging whenever I use the loader. I have yet to find a loader that doesn't ring up alarms though.
