And I don't know how well circulated this is in the starcraft community, but right now on WoW the biggest flaw that is being seen is that there is some loophole in Flash (I am computer savvy but I haven't gotten a chance to read up on it fully,) and it is allowing people to be logged, and their WoW accounts are being hacked as well. It's a pretty big deal as of right now, and if it isn't resolved soon, I suggest making sure when you are playing SC2 beta, you are ONLY playing the sc2 beta, turn any Flash based programs off in the background and steer clear of the embedded players as well. I have had a handful of friends have their wow accounts hacked because of these problems in just a short amount of time. | ||

No, the trojan is designed to steal your battle.net account. Playing SC2/WoW is most likely the only thing that's in danger. Correct me if I'm wrong. | ||

Some people have even managed to complain about blizzard regarding this which I dont get. I was using firewall and a Avira antivirus program and I thought I was relatively safe but if sc2 wouldnt have finded it and this would have been an retail copy I could have had my account taken. So I dont really see how this ability is a bad thing, come on seriously. It wasnt the launcher so I dont know I this trojan came to my computer but I hope it's gone now. Thanks for the help Joey.rumz ye thanks I'll try to keep that in mind x) | ||

Antivirus tools can conflict with each other, SC2 should not really be accessing anything but the game files, and if it scans while you are playing it means a hit on game performance. Also if the game does scan your files it should explicitly and visibly tell you about it. Meaning: not just somewhere in the TOS, and not just saying "may access some files". If SC2 is only detecting if a virus is actively trying to access SC2 then I don't have any complaints I guess. I would appreciate it more if Blizzard was actively cooperating with producers of antivirus tools to help keep their definitions/scan algorithms up to date. I don't mean to say that this is an entirely bad thing. The intentions definitely seem good, and overall it probably still is a good thing despite the concerns. | ||
