You broke the ToS which you agreed to--which, in addition, it makes you agree to them installing that program. Been discussed thousands of times over. I assume you read up on it, so know that qq won't really entice anything but flames.

Blizzard using software to monitor your interaction with their servers is not illegal, it's exactly what they say they will do in the ToS/EULA that you agreed to when you started your WoW account. The monitoring software they use is not malicious, does not steal your personal info, or do anything else that's harmful to you in any way.

As for your "misread trojan virus," it had to be interacting with the WoW client in some way for you to get a ban.

Lastly, if you have such a problem with Blizzard's security measures, just stop playing. No one's forcing you to play WoW, are they?

Edit: What is the name of the misread trojan virus that caused your account to be banned? I want to make sure it isn't hiding on my computer as well.

Personally, I think that if you aren't doing anything wrong you shouldn't really care what Blizzard's Warden software is picking up from your PC. In case you may have forgotten, you already gave Blizzard some pretty incriminating personal details when you made your account (some people even gave away credit card numbers! Gasp!) and if you're so convinced Blizzard's intentions are borderline "spyware" and privacy invasion rather than insuring that users follow the rules and that the game you play is kept safe, maybe you need to reconsider the entire situation. If you don't trust what Blizzard is doing with any data collected via it's client, then you don't probably don't trust Blizzard and maybe you shouldn't even play the game. I'm not cheating at WoW, so I could give a care less if a client doing something that I agreed to when I accepted the game's EULA by sending random, non-personal information regarding the fact that I have Firefox or TextPad open while I'm running WoW. Give me a break.

If you have the time to do these 'researches' & 'investigations', how about you learn how to use paragraphs yeah?

Oh, and do you have proof that Blizzard is being investigated? Because if you do, I'd love to see it.

Once again.

You're banned because you did something Blizzard told you not to do. The agreement was if you did said thing you get banned. Stop whining and go do something else other than play this stupid addicting game.

This is to all those that was putting me down for complaining about being kicked off World of Warcraft.

Oh, this should be good...

I was wondering that if I was using third party software how would Blizzard know that I was. Well after doing some research I have found out how they would know. It seems that Blizzard, as part of the installation of the game, puts a spyware program onto your computer's hard drive to monitor your hard drive for illegal software, which in it's self is illegal, has a problem of misinterpreting some viruses as third party software.

It's illegal? Quote the law please. In actuality, it's perfectly legal, and is described in the Terms of Service agreement to which you clicked the "OK" button when you installed the software originally, and to which you also clicked "OK" after each and every software patch.

So when Blizzard kicked me off they did so using illegal software themselves, software that invades our privacy, that misread a Trojan virus I had at the time as third party software and then their refusal to talk with me about the problem denied me my rights to defend myself and to prove that I was not using third party software.

Interesting. I suppose what you're claiming is possible. I might even believe that you aren't a bot baby - if you provide the name of the Trojan. Until then, you're Botbob Whinypants.

So all you who supported World of warcraft for kicking me off you had better hope and pray that you do not have a Trojan virus that Blizzard's spyware will indentify as third party software and they kick you off as they did me at the lose of all the money you have spent to play the game and give you no chance to defend yourself. As I have found there are others like me who were kicked off so Blizzard is being investigated.

Yep - others like you. People who violated the Blizzard ToS and used third-party add-ons that modified the game in such a way that you had an unfair advantage. And that's who you'll stay, to me and everyone else on these forums, until you actually provide some evidence that somewhere out there is a Trojan that somehow is misidentified by the Warden application as a bot or other third-party add-on that violates the ToS.

I won't hold my breath.

You have been warned.

Not to bot and break the Terms of Service? Thanks, but I already knew not to hack the system; even if I hadn't read the ToS, my heapin' helpin' of common sense would have told me that cheating in a game where I'm (in a sense) competing with other real people would probably be a violation of the rules.

In closing: QQmore. Just do it somewhere else; you're wasting my net oxygen.

I don't know about not caring at all. I'm not comfortable with all the things Blizzard could do with the info it grabs. I mean, they make a cool game, but that doesn't make them immune to greed and abuse. Aren't we all just kinda "hoping" that they are only using this info for something "good". After all, they are kinda tightlipped about what they do or will use it for.

Anyway, botting sucks, but I honestly was going to get a logitech keyboard, and now I'm glad I didn't. It would suck to be those guys.

You already gave them your name, address, phone number, email address and a credit card number when you opened a WoW account; what other information would they need to grab? If Blizzard created WoW to scam you, you would have been scammed a long time ago.

Don't break the law.

Yeah i was under the impression warden would start sending logs of memory space when certain code hashes were detected.

Not all of memory but just the interesting bits.

Can you imagine...2gbs of ram going down a dial up connection?

Really now, if your paranoid about warden, then you should be education your self about the use of linux and supercomputing to parse and log all your net traffic.

but that would be overkill yeah?

Don't break the law.
Becuase corporations control the police and legal system now, amiright?
Woohooo bring on the corporate tyranny

what you really mean is Don't break the rules as laid out in the Terms of Service & the End Users Licence Agreement
