A new trojan out in the wild is attacking computers
with the goal of stealing your
World of Warcraft account information. It may seem like a trivial target for virus writers, but there's
definitely money to be made reselling in-game items - and, thus, money to made by stealing your password. So be
certain to keep your anti-virus up to date and if your account has been compromised, contact a GM or the billing department, but expect a lengthy process of
investigation to have your items or account restored.

I so envy you Justin. However, I have a dedicated machine to just play games. Nothing is downloaded besides in-game patches that are downloaded by themself. The only exception is add-on's that are LUA only (no EXE files here).
However, I did have to download that WoWReader for when I applied to my guild. So they could see all my info. Does anybody know how secure this program is???

Use Firefox (or Opera) - anything but Internet Explorer
