But if I'm not mistaken, isn't Runelite supported by Jagex? You can launch Runelite through the launcher no? I also did a full scan, and I took my computer into a tech shop to have it scanned; alas, no malware or viruses were found. So how do you explain that? If you had a malicious version of RuneLite, then that could explain one reason why you may have been hijacked. As I mentioned above, in prior times, it was easier for someone to download a fake copy of RuneLite and get hijacked. We can't really decipher how you were hijacked without all the full details of what occurred exactly. What you can and should do is improve your overall security settings, as it has been suggested repeatedly in this thread, to avoid such events from happening ever again.

If the Jagex launcher is the only thing I should be using, why does it even give me an option to use Runelite in the first place? Third-party software usage has always been and still is "

use at your own risk
". This literary means that
1) you will not get in trouble for using it (i.e., banned) as long as you respect Jagex rules and regulations, which may be found here
:
Third Party Clients Update
&
Third Party Client Guidelines
AND
2) if anything were to happen to your account (i.e., a ban and/or hijack), YOU are fully responsible for those actions and NOT Jagex
