Hi All,
Red Alert yet again....
The WoWHead and their network sister websites are distributing virus and keyloggers again.
They have not released a statement yet, this is yet again another flaw in their advertisments.
WoWHead, Thottbot, Alakazam are affected
WoWdb.com which is less user informative is not affected, I would recommend using them for the mean time.
How about I just use Firefox and leave my AV set on auto-update.
add on "No Script" and "Ad Block Plus" to firefox and you have a winner.
I know how to protect my PC, however, this was a public announcement incase people are using IE as well as wowhead due to the recent IE security Issues.
<3 to D-B.com for not using advertisements, woot woot!
I hate technology.
Internet Exploder imo. lolIE
Does this happen in the background? Or is there a prompt befor we are compromised?
Any suggestions as to detecting the infection (early)?
I'll ask the dumb question: Will my up-to-date virus suite (from CA) protect me or is there some other weakness I should be aware of?
I can only imagine due to the recent UNPATCHED security issue with IE I can only recommend:
I have people 'in the know' on this issue, I hope to find out more info asap
- Update virus scanner
- Scan your PC
- Change to firefox & NoScript addon or another safe webbrowser
- Don't use wowhead for a while, I would suggest use WoWDB.com but not alot of user input tho :(
