Scan your computers and also make sure none of your accounts info has been changed. There are a lot of posts this morning on the blizz support forums of people being hacked. One of my accounts was affected and they raped my guild bank and xfered toons to another server. It's weird how they selected to only touch that account and not the other four that I was on this morning.
The file I found to be a keylogger was called Urchin[3] it was a javascript that I found in my temporary internet files that popped up in kaspersky as: Malware Exploit.JS.RealPlr.am
The only sites that I visit = Thottbot, Dual-boxing.com, WoW Forums... I'm pretty sure that I will no longer troll the wow forums almost 99.9% sure this is where I picked it up. However, I'm good about not clicking random links and scanning files for viruses before I open them so I dunno.
Sounds like you were using IE. Time to move to a real browser.

Firefox FTW. When you are using firefox when you close it you can set options to delete all browser history and files. It's a little precaution I do.
Firefox with the "NoScript" extension,,, good enough for me.

Don't make me go search for "firefox critical vulnerability". I'll do it, I swear...

ROFL - touché, although I do much prefer Firefox with ABP and noScript.
Reminds me of the idiots saying that Macs are safe from viruses and that they don't need to install AV software. Like a red rag to a bull ;)

I bet you read slashdot religously. Meh?
Btw IE 7 has less vulnerabilties then Firefox. Sux4u. If you keep UAC (user account control) active in Vista, its quite hard to get a successfull attack by. However using INFERIOR Technologies, you frequently get pwned. Need I find stats for vulnerabilities in the 'OH SO SECURE' OSX? :D
BRING IT ALL YOU MS HATERS.

It's not that Mac OSX is 100% secure, its that we don't piss off 95% of the marketshare like some.. OS.. companies..

LOLOL... Oh really you don't intentionally piss off 95% of the marketshare?
What woudl you call this? http://www.apple.com/getamac/ playing nice? Providing ballanced thoughtfull reasons on why a mac can be a good purchase.... or...
Bashing the Windows OS in any way concievable... hmmm...

Tho working for microsoft you would be a little biased wouldnt you? :P
Personally, i've used both extensively and Vista is more of an OSX design rip than anything to the non-power user, at least they managed to clone a little more quality into their OS compared to previous iterations.
Now if you are some code-monkey super user, yeah i'm sure Vista has its superior sides just as power Mac users would argue the same for their OS.

lol they copied/we copied? Should we count inovations that the other has copied? Apple just has better marketing. Most 'common' items between the operating systems have been around for a WHILE in windows...

I'll second that, btw anyone know if opera is open for keyloggers and also does it help to copy & paste your password in?

and also does it help to copy & paste your password in?As for keylogging, no it will not record what is copied. all it will record is the ctrl+c or the crtl+v. So if you want to ctrl+v all the time, its safe.
This post IMO is 99.9% right. That way if I am wrong.. well my bad.
