Without a doubt, we all know about the keylogger exploits out there but most dont know all the ways that they can get onto your rig. One of the most overlook is that video files could contain hiddien exe files, trojans, and viruses that will compromise for security and steal information. I have found 3 different keylooger apps from various wow movies from places like google vidoes and one on youtube.com

Their is really no practical way to stop these from installing and usually work instantly. Since we have 2 recent people here reporting account hacks, I felt that this has to be conveyed and taken seriously. If you do wish to view wow movies, do so on a rig that you DO NOT have WoW installed AND one you dont log onto wow account management.

Their are countless versions out their for me to specify but one of the big ones shows up as svch0st.exe in your task manager. Googleo up any suspicious exes running in taskmanager.

Frag On!

Another big thing is antivirus programs, I've been using AVG for some time now, and its caught alot of stuff, sometimes when you go to suspicious websites that might try to download stuff on your computer, ive seen it pop up and stop downloads of keyloggers/trojans etc. If you dont have a good antivirus program AVG is free, and updates every time you turn on your computer. No more of that lag at 8 when norton starts scanning, or random lag causing you to get killed because your antivirus chose to update right as you started fighting something, AVG ftw!
