Where's step 1.1?

Also the advice is questionable in places.

Eg the I'm sending links out to people one.

That is more commonly the cause of a worm/virus rather than a keylogger or dodgy block checker site taking your password

to be fair, i know quite a few people who have recently been hit by one like this, claiming to be a block checker, logging their password and then signing in, auto-sending out links to all their contacts (of which some have then gone on to fall for the trap) and then signing out again

while it's not 100% accurate, it's trying to cover all eventualities and either way, the "change your password" advice which is given first off is the best way to combat these kind of things
