Warning, warning, intruder alert.

Hey, I have heard that a few people have been hacked by keyloggers.
Doesn't world of warcraft have an in-game system that tells you that there is a system lurking?

When I had a keylogger there was an orc that said;
"Warning, warning, intruder alert. Intruder alert."
And it came up with a dialog box. The keylogger was swiftly removed.
Does this happen with all keyloggers?

While there have been several steps taken with the Launcher, to help protect our players from malicious software, there is no way for us to have a log of every keylogger/malicious program in existence. Similar to any antivirus, spamware or malware detection or protection program, these programs are continuously evolving and require updates; since these malicious software are constantly changing in an effort to avoid detection.

Our intentions are to help assist any antivirus or anti-spyware software that you have installed on your computer, Randai. As a supplement, not a replacement for your own methods of keeping your system secure.
