This is out in the wild looking to steal your Warcraft login information.

Once infected, this virus will attempt to log all keystrokes sent between your computer and the login servers (us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com or eu.logon.worldofwarcraft.com). Any data it collects - which would include your username and password - will then be sent off to a remote attacker. Symantec is currently reporting that the virus hasn't spread far yet, but it's time-consuming and difficult to recover a lost account, whereas it's fairly quick and painless to make sure your anti-virus definitions are up to date. So go update your anti virus files today!!!!!

Attempts to log keystrokes entered into windows associated with the following domains, which belong to World of Warcraft, a popular multiplayer online game:

  • us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
  • eu.logon.worldofwarcraft.com
  • Steals various passwords related to another multiplayer online game called The Legend of Mir.
  • Sends any information it gathers to a remote attacker via HTTP.
