    Hi again!! :)

    First of all, I just love how helpful you all have been!! I learn a lot from these forums.

    Here's the question though, I play that evil game called World of Warcraft. I d'loaded a basic keyscrambler for just random things online. However, There's been a lot of talk about people getting their accounts hacked into. I don't do the normal things that would be an obvious gateway to allowing this. Such as buying gold online, buying the power leveling deals and so on..

    Though, I've heard a few people say they have gotten issues with just simple keylogging viruses from the addons.

    I do not know exactly how this would work honestly. The addons are normally zip files and others have said that it would be impossible. Yet another few have given examples of how it is possible.

    Would a keyscrambler help prevent this from any possibilities? If so, what one would be good to use that is free? Also, just in general... Is this type of situation possible?

    Thank you for your time.

    Scyn ~

    I do not really know if it would truly help. What I can say for sure is that we have had dozens of people here who have infections from playing WOW. Our opinion here is the same as for torrent and p2p downloaders and that is, don't use them as they are security risks.

    If you feel you must play this game, I suggest you post in the Game Forum to see what others do. Also make sure you PC is properly protected per this: How to Protect yourself from malware!
