How to stop PC intruders

Here’s a helpful post from the World of Warcraft forums. Eldariel of Genjuros has written a detailed approach to adding some layers of protection onto your computer. Granted, it’s something most tech-savvy World of Warcraft players probably know by now, but for people who have currently been mindful of the keylogger scare happening around the internet, then this is probably a very timely wake-up call.

The post provides definitions of what keyloggers and viruses in the said MMORPG are, and provides some helpful links and instructions on downloading software to protect your computer. If all of that fails, it even lists down the steps for formatting your hard drive to forcibly remove any unsavory elements from within. Best of all, all of the sites recommended by Eldariel and the other members of the forums are free, so there’s no excuse for not getting some kind of protection on those computers.

Despite these warnings, however, it doesn’t assure complete protection against the worst the internet has to offer. It does manage to give some extra bit of protection, which is always better than none. One piece of advice always given freely to newbies in WoW, however, is always there: Blizzard will never ask for your password, so don’t give it out to anyone.
