Just install the latest version of Flash and you should be good to go.

Correct. The linked thread has the download link.

If you run a website, you should also watch for SQL injection vulnerabilities. The same people spreading the key loggers are also using SQL injection attacks to take over websites to spread the infection. Note that many common web programs (eg. forums, raid planners, and roster organizers) use SQL under the hood.

I trust Apophis, since this kind of thing is his business, but a lot of web hosters and guild managers are completely unaware of this exposure.
