So without further ado, I got hacked in an online game that I was playing in, and I got hacked.
How: I have some suspicious link that I followed thru the forums of the game, maybe they installed a keylogger.
I know that it is my fault but how can my avast track down the keylog(application or virus whatever it may be), and how can I delete it? I need to disinfect my laptop ASAP, although my avast is showing no virus on its scan but I want to check thoroughly just to ensure that I don’t have malicious viruses and applications.
do i have to do everything instructed there? sorry im just a newbie here, if there is something temporary that i can do before all those procedures i would gladly appreciate it.

nothing more sir i just want to protect my laptop from hackers and keyloggers. i know that it is 100% impossible to protect my self online if those hackers are persistent, but i dont also think that they will just hack for no apparent reason at all. i just want to be protected as an ordinary user online since i don’t know how to deal with these kinds of problems.
question: if a problem persist again, which of the programs above should i use? or should i do again all the steps starting from stage 1?
Now click on “Run” button. Wait for the programme completes his work.
All the tools we used should be gone.
Tool will create and open an log report (DelFix.txt) Note: The report will also be stored on C:\DelFix.txt
