Ads are disabled it seems, so it's probably an existing infection on your system that detected you visiting a wow website, rather then something on zam.

Thanks for the post. If I have further reports of the same nature I'll look into it further.

With just one report, it's an isolated incident and almost always points to adware on the user's computer.
