WoW Keylogger Scare

Saw the following warning on Worldofwar.net this morning:

"You'll want to be a bit more cautious when looking up information on the game today. World of Raids reports that an unknown ad banner that has appeared on the websites Wowhead, Thottbot, and Allakhazam, that has an embedded keylogger. You don't even need to click on the banner apparently, simply mousing over it will be enough. Wowhead says that all they know for sure is that it originates from"ad.yieldmanager.com", and will produce a redirect to"xpantivirus.com." They're working at isolating it.

The issue is known, and all parties involved are tracking it down, so it should hopefully be resolved soon. In the meantime, if you're looking for a quick way to protect yourself, I would follow the recommendation of World of Raids, and try out the Firefox web browser and the No Script extension. As long as you keep the scripts blocked, it should prevent the banner in question from forcing itself on you.This should also provide you with some protection if you accidentally click on the wrong link elsewhere, such as on the WoW general forums."

And of course if you use Firefox to browse the forums you can use my nifty Stylish skin for Worldofwar.net!
