yea some how my account got hacked today and i've been suspended for 48 hours.. only addons i have are quest helper and autioneer be scared lol
WOW lvl 70 player
yes, it should but ... maybe delayed. (when your Antivirus/Antispy programm updates)
it should detect them.
Just a Question. Does your Anti Virus detect them key logging bitches or is it totally under the radar?
thanks for thte warning.
Thanks for warning us.
This is because the Curse Dev team rocks. Plain and simple. ;)
Elune be Praised Curse is safe from the vile keylogger threat.
This past Saturday, my addons were terribly out of date, so I figured I would cave and reinstall Curse to give it another shot. I mean, it is a great client. I reinstall, update, then immediately uninstall for safety's sake. I logged off 2 a.m. Sunday. I attempted to log in 2 p.m. Sunday, and wow, what do you know! My account's been hacked...AGAIN! I had already changed my password again, and no one could guess this one either. And no, no one uses or can even get onto my laptop except me. The first time, my lvl 75 character was completely stripped of all her gear, all gold and bag inventory stolen. Gold was missing from my other higher lvl characters as well. Blizzard was awesome enough to give me back my stuff the first time. I can hardly WAIT to see what's been stolen this time.
Thanks a lot Curse. If I ever need my WoW account to be anally raped in the future, I'll be sure to look you up.
