Its really, a safer choice.<\/p>\n<p>And remember, this is just my opinion. This is a blog, not a cutting-edge news site with up to the minute info nor associated with FFXIAH. They will post their official statement when their investigation is over.<\/p>\n<p>Anyhow, interesting readings around the community about this issue.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A Report from Kaspersky Security about these Trojans.

He only played the leveling aspect of WoW and he compares it to FFXI as a whole.
