Infected

The other day while playing warcraft I hopped off for a second to grab a mod I needed. I went to wowui which has become the most popular wow mod site, and after grabbing the mod I needed I happened to see that there was an update to a fishing mod I already had. So I thought I might as well go ahead and update it. I installed everything and signed back on. A few minutes later tyler signed on and when I went to type him a message warcraft froze on me. This wasn’t the first time I had this issue so I restarted and thought nothing more of it. Once I got into the game my entire.interface, key bindings, and game options had all been reset. I assumed it was due to the restart so I redid them, logged out, and signed back in only to find they had reset again.
I checked the forums to see if I could find the cause of this, and found a few other peeps had the same issue. We eventually traced it back to the website we downloaded the mods from. We tried everything to remove the trojan, but the best we could do was to stop it from running with kaspersky, and before the day was over Jen said it flagged it as a keylogger. Yay.
So after work I had to reformat….again. Luckily Chip made me copies of his wow dvds so I didn’t have to do the dreaded 10 disc instal. We decided it was finally time to keep our pc a bit more secure , so I decided to go with mcafee and all their pc medical supplies since the free AVs didn’t stand up to the task. Seems to be decent so far, but we will see.
