I heard about this a while ago i think in December when the first attacks hit home, but now I hear that the "gang" behind this has targetted WOW players by putting up fake pages with the code injected in it,the user is unaware of whats being done to thier pc.Then the gang are logging into to a persons WOW acocunt and selling off all thier items to make cash!
MS have issued a patch for this and it can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...n/MS07-017.mspx
I patched myself a couple of days ago and have seen side effects so hopefully it
s good wink.gif

    How can i fix it? (13)
    I wanted to install Vista without getting rid of my XP installation, so I left Xp on my C drive, and
    installed Vista on another physical disk. I started running into problems with the dual booting when
    i would switch from one OS to the next, and after a while Xp would start hanging on boot, and only
    after several cold reboots would it load properly. So i was planning on uninstalling Vista, but the
    hard drive i had it on got formatted by a friend of mine who thought he was doing me a favor. Now

    couldn't copy e:\i386\canvas.wm_. I double checked the CD and the file is right there. Retried
    over 20 times and still won't let me copy it. I hit cancel and let it finish the install. I
