Random disconnects, but perfect connection. Keylogger?

This has happened a few times. With the possibility of some users having their account information stolen from add ons, I wonder if its possible that someone is disconnecting me just to see what I have and waiting until I'm at 60 with a lot of gold (I'm a mid 40s warlock with a few bank alts on the PvE server). It's a clean disconnection, no lagging, just walking around and BOOM, "Disconnected from server" at the login screen.

I'll get a random disconnection with a perfect connection (twitch streaming working perfectly, internet running just fine, etc), and I'm just wondering if someone from another IP is logging in. I have never account shared.

When this happened the first time, I changed my password just to be cautious. The first time happened in Blackfathom Deeps and I was removed from the party, ported back to the front of the instance, but I was reinvited no problem. This has happened again today but I was on a bank alt just walking in Stormwind. So I'm wondering what is the best way to see if I have a keylogger.

Or if getting randomly disconnected is just a normal thing. Just being overly cautious, and I will change my password again just in case but afraid if I have a keylogger, they'll know again. Thanks.

This is normal, random disconnects happen from time to time and it's nothing to worry about. Run a virus scan and change your PW just to be safe, and to put your mind at ease.

Selling more than 8 items simultaneously or querying too many items in AtlasLoot will instantly DC you. There are so many things that can cause it, it's hard to pinpoint.
