Just making sure everybody who plays WoW knows that there has been a recent security issue with Adobe Flash. Somebody hacked the Adobe site and sent out a trojan with a version of Flash Player that specifically attacked your computer in order to gain your WoW account information.
If you have not done so already, please update to the newest version of Adobe Flash Player, Version 9.0.124.0. This is also recommended even if you are not a World of Warcraft player, since this is a known security issue and can be used to compromise any account and/or your entire computer and/or network. I have provided a link to the download of the latest version of Flash Player at the end of this post. Please, for your computer and accounts safety, follow up the download with a virus/spyware/malware scan and prompt deletion of any and all cookies or temporary files.
Thank you for your time.
Download link for Adobe Flash Player Version 9.0.124.0

Please visit the World of Warcraft website for further information regarding this security issue.
Alternate link: (( Though it takes you the same download link as above. ))
