Blizzard Bans Players with Viruses, Keyloggers or Trojans

WOW Insider reports a player was temporarily banned when Blizzard found a virus or a spybot on his system when they scanned it.  I have no idea how using an authenticator will help keep this from happening, although WOW Insider says this is the case.

UPDATE:  An explanation of how the authenticator helps you in this situation.  Thanks, Lissanna.
