If you make it a habit of logging into your account from other players' PCs, you're totally at the mercy of whatever malicious crap may be on them. If you're entering account information to access the guild bank via The Armory from a third party's or public access PC, you're also exposing your account. Personally, I have WoW remember my user name and I cut & paste my account password -- which, itself, is a process I really do make entirely too stupidly complicated. (I blame my cryptologic Intel background, a whole lot of geekiness, and a dash of pure paranoia.) I'm running all of the security apps you mentioned and then a couple more arguably redundant ones, but I need to look at some of those other Firefox addons that I'm not using yet. Is my system secure? Not on your life! I'm just a half-step ahead of the lazy thieves. By the way, Kinless, I'm glad you switched to a blog I can reach from work -- seeing as we're both stuck behind the same firewall and filters. ;) It doesn’t even have to be YOUR PC that’s infected.
