Various WoW-related sites have been infected with those in the recent past. Your best defense against these are the various (and often free for personal use) anti-virus programs available. I'm using Avira AntiVir, which is free, and only nags you about buying a better version every time is updates. Funnily I found that paid-for antivirus software annoys me a lot more often, and is often so over the edge that it prevents you from playing online games in the first place unless you fiddle with complicated controls.

Firewalls can also help to some extent. Microsoft having a bad image, people will often advise you to increase your safety by switching from Internet Explorer to another browser, like Firefox. 52% of the visitors of this blog use a Firefox browser, and only 40% some version of IE. So I wouldn't count on Firefox being less targeted by malicious software than IE forever, some people even claim that Firefox has more vulnerabilities. Either use some really exotic browser, or use a well-known browser and update it regularly.

At the end I'd like to discuss one major vulnerability: stupidity. Some people lose their passwords because they fell for some phishing attempt. A popular one for WoW offers you a spot in the Wrath of the Lich King beta, and directs you to a site where you have to enter your username and password to "register" for that beta.
