World of Warcraft trojan issue: only false positives |
Ó
Word got 'round - and got around real fast - that trojans were attached to the latest Blizzard Downloader and some of the patch executables for World of Warcraft. A couple of spyware detection programs identified malware signatures that spurred concern for computer security buffs in the community.
But Blizzard doused the community buzz down. According to Drysc, the trojan detected is actually a false positive - or a signature that might appear to be a spyware, but really isn't a threat. Blizzard has just recently looked into the issue after receiving the reports and found that it's only tied to a couple of popular malware detection programs.
That said, Blizzard has already contacted the companies of the programs and asked for a fix to address the issue, and some companies are already pushing out their respective definitions that should correct the detection of the false positive. If the developers of your program have not delivered their updates, Drysc recommends concerned users to update once new definitions become available.
