title says it all. I clicked the link in the now closed thread "JUST DO IT IF YOU LOVE POKER". Saw the video etc. Seemed legit, but yea could be malicious or what?

What can I do now to make sure I dont have a keylogger/trojan/whatever installed on my system.

Running Windows 7 64-bit

Thanks in advance.

unplug your computer from the internet, and format/re-install

I'm OP of the mentioned thread. It's legit for sure.... seems to be impossible to prove that though

Do you really think I hired Lederer to hold the speech?

Should be pretty obv that its a FTP link imo

The only reason I didn't conatct the mod to reopen my thread is that HR2267 is already through...

I went on the full tilt poker site to see if there was any link on their but couldnt find anything, which made me suspicious.

Its legit.

there have been a ton of phishing posts on 2p2 the last week, and I just assumed it was one of them.

For reference though, the "do you really think I hired Lederer to hold the speech" comment doesnt make the site more secure, or any less prone to malware, it would be fairly simple to take the content from that site, re-create it with some bad things that load backdoors and put it up as a "legit" site.
