In case you haven't heard already, somepage was infected by a trojan that installs a keylogger using a realplayer vulnerability.
Edit: it appears that somepage has been cleaned up. Going to leave this as a sticky anyhow, as everyone should still protect themselves against possible attacks in the future.
The details are here:

The short and sweet version: It appears that only Internet Explorer is vulnerable, and only if you have real player installed. If you think you might be infected, follow the instructions on BG, then change your FFXI passwords.
And like I've told anyone who has ever asked (and some that haven't):
Always use Firefox. Avoid Internet Explorer at all costs.
Click here to download Firefox.
After you install Firefox, go here and install these also.
*edit* Added download links
