I love wowdb.com but man do they need more comments...
Thank you for this announcement. It is appreciated.
Gotta love being logged into only one of your accounts around midnight and watch yourself log into 3 different toons in 4 minutes or so. My solo level 80 mage and a priest were stipped nekid and had everything mailed out. I figured out what was going on pretty quick, but the damage was done.
To the massive credit of GM's and any other department involved, I already have all the gear back with gems and enchants. Lost the gold, but that's easier to get than the last 4 weeks of guild raids.
I was using the new IE for testing, but I reloaded my VM and won't go back to Wowhead or IE any time soon... atleast on my game box.
Thanks for the heads up Majestic. 8)
Also, get an authenticator. Even if something gets past your security, all it can steal is the password. Two-factor authentication is much harder to break.
There's an update available from Windows Update - so patch & reboot if you're using IE.

Humm I should have it but i have telephony, telnet, task schdualer, runas and remote registry services disabled so HA HA HA!
Also you can tell if yur infected by using autoruns from microsoft, shows everything that starts up when you start your computer, EVERYTHING.
A nice tool, certainly. But not a complete AV diagnostic tool by any means. It can catch a lot of things, but not EVERY piece of malware ever invented. For a trivial example - what if something you expect and want to run on startup is replaced or compromised? Good luck with that, eh? So...I wouldn't be quite that bold in advertising it for telling if you're infected or not.Quote:

Still, a great tool.
so IE is currently "compromised" or able to get key loggers/trojans/viruses and all those fun things? >_> guess its a good thing i switched to Firefox about a week ago lol.
want to run on startup is replaced or compromised
Well then it wont show up as verifyed. I mean if its so easy to hide a start up program from the operating system so that the operating system thinks its official and verified, then obviously it will hide it from Norton or any other product as well.
Anyway I back up my computers and have tt shark case with the hard drives side mounted so I can just slap in a new whole cloned drive from a back up if anything strikes. But so far with no norton and no firewall I havnt got a thing (cause I shut off all remote services lol ... ). Even if malware starts its can't take over anything from a remote source as the services are just not avaialable to do so. I not sure that with serivce off any program can send information back to the writer.
To those that got hacked
