Certain versions of Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash can lead to hacks.

I think this is how I got hacked.  Anyway, posting for the good of the community if you have these versions of the software.  The soultion is upgrading to the newest versions it seems, as this won't get caught by virus scanners.

It's not reader and flash themselves that are going to hack your account, rather that security vulnerabilities in older versions are easily exploitable by account stealers.

Adobe doesn't want your WoW account :P
