The wiki might be compromised with malware...

So some weeks ago, my firewall started going crazy blocking attempted connections from my PC to China like this:

2013/05/19 05:36:00 -0400 ASOUP-PC asoup IP-BLOCK 203.93.126.72 (Type: outgoing, Port: 60732, Process: svchost.exe)

2013/05/19 05:36:56 -0400 ASOUP-PC asoup IP-BLOCK 218.7.28.189 (Type: outgoing, Port: 60732, Process: svchost.exe)

2013/05/19 05:37:28 -0400 ASOUP-PC asoup IP-BLOCK 218.7.28.189 (Type: outgoing, Port: 60732, Process: svchost.exe)

At the time, I thought of all the sites I had visited that day that I hadn't visited before since my last reformat, and the only one that stood out was AWoIaF. Afterwards, I ran as many anti-malware programs as possible, none could detect this thing, whatever it was. Until, finally, a program called Combofix appeared to have found it hiding in SysWoW64. It was also blocking incoming connections, so it seems to me this wasn't just a keylogger, but possibly either a botnet or a program that lets them use you as steps to route traffic to hide the original user.

Anyway, so I was clean again until today when I start seeing things like this again:

2013/06/02 05:29:58 -0400 ASOUP-PC asoup IP-BLOCK 213.226.197.102 (Type: outgoing, Port: 54023, Process: svchost.exe)

2013/06/02 07:40:45 -0400 ASOUP-PC asoup IP-BLOCK 218.10.2.40 (Type: incoming, Port: 54023, Process: svchost.exe)

2013/06/02 07:40:45 -0400 ASOUP-PC asoup IP-BLOCK 218.10.2.40 (Type: incoming, Port: 54023, Process: svchost.exe)

And what site had I visited recently that I hadn't visited in weeks? The Wiki of Ice and Fire.

Now this is just a sample-size of 2, and it's very possible it's just a coincidence. I just want to make people aware of the possibility.
