What do you mean--nothing going on? My life has been in trauma and not even a phone call. Well Well.

As you probably heard from Travis, my WOW account got hacked. Yes, I logged on and there stood my main guy naked. Even his soulbound armor was gone.

Fortunately, Blizzard has now restored all my stuff. But is it really safe?

I ran all my virus and security programs and download a couple free ones from the net. I even lugged my tower to Best Buy willing to pay them $200.00 to find the foul hacker's program.

But an honest WOW player working there advised me not to pay and to remove and reload the game. So, I did, plus all my addons. Very Painful.

But now what security to use?

It's not too late to redeem yourself.
Give me your thoughts?

There is a Romeo's lunch in it for you.

Damnit Fan.. you took your PC into best buy and shilled 200 hundy for them? Bad..bad..bad idea. Those guy are freaking n00bs on a wilson level.

I would advocate the authenticator key FOB.. then again that was proven bad when keyloggers are involved..

A few things - don't have multiple antivirus programs installed - they just hog memory and fight.. get one and keep it updated and scanning.

Stay away from bad websites.. don't install stuff that's not directly from blizzard.. etc.

I am glad to hear your account was restored.

FYI you get the authenticator from blizard's store for cheap.. or the the smart-phone app (assuming you have one of those).
