So my account was hacked

As the title says. Well got in contact with Blizz via the in game system and they locked my account and all that. This happened yesterday (Wednesday) and I have been installing anti-virus programs and scanning ever since. So far I have found absolutely nothing and I need ideas.
I guess I got a key-logger but since 4 anti-virus programs can't find it I don't know what to do. I have also tried some anti spyware programs and still nothing. I guess I have two questions:
1: What should I do next to find the key-logger?
2: Is it possible to get hacked without them installing anything?
Hope you guys can help. Thanks in advance.

That's always one way to go about it....But usually it's a virus, or from former gold buying activities(since you have to give them a lot of information). Sucks that you got hijacked and good luck getting everything back if they took stuff.
Edit: Oh, and get an authenticator....The mobile one is on almost all smart phones now.

Run a virus scan with wow running as some virus's will only "activate" when wow is running.

I just ran another scan with wow open and still nothing. I am not using the same login and password anywhere else, although I am using one that is similar on Facebook. I guess I will just have to open my account again and see if I get hacked again. If I do it means I have something bad on my computer and may have to format everything.

How not to be "hacked"

....First time ever paying attention to your signature Arkayn....For reference, it's Judgment in the US. It's only spelled that way because, as always, us Americans(US, not Americas) like to take letters out of the original English spelling of words.
OT: As said, all of the above. Account security is easy if you just take the time to ensure it.
