"You mean nothing to worry about other than the fact that your client is inferior to the PC one?(Seriously, folk running Boot Camp on the new Intel Mac's have found the PC client runs better.)"I honestly don't care if I miss a few FPS if it means not having to deal with crap like mentioned in this story and not having to bother with antivirus/anti-spyware software.

The one flaw in this plan, is that everything is logged, as soon as the account is reported as hacked, they check the logs to see where all teh gold/items were sent, and next they bust that account. It's really pointless.

Don't use IE? Yea, that's a good idea, get 90% of the internet population to switch over... good luck, while you are at it why don't you solve world hunger and bring peace, that's simple too.. I hate IE, but most people use IE.

I actually downloaded the program "World Of Warcraft CD Key Plus 60 Day Game Card Generator WORKING TORRENT AND URL rar.torrent" and when I tried extracting it this popped up: <a class="user" href="http://theoutboards.com/obpics/acwg2">http://theoutboards.com/obpics/acwg2</a>Good thing, too, because this is my mom's work laptop, so she and I would be f**ked. I guess that what she gets for working for the state: Excellent free virus protection!

All I have to say is "Good"...I have two friends who basically quit school just to play world of warcraft 24/7 for fun and do nothing else.

Mods should be written in lua making them platform independant. If you've got a mod the requires an exe... think of changing mods!

Particularly since the .exe installers are a likely source of these trojans. Every mod I've installed has come from a zip file.
