However another equally bad exploit has been discovered, this time permitting Warcraft III to execute some form of scripting language via the Preload native. This can be used to get the game to download files from the internet and place them in dangerous folders (like windows or startup folders).

It is advisable to not play any map from a source you do not trust. Avoid downloading maps from BattleNet or playing on bots you do not trust. A trojen map can even take the apparent form of one you already have and can download and run the exploit code before the lobby even loads. Remember that both single player and multiplayer maps are susceptible to this.

BUT maybe theres a other Reason why they still havent released the new Patch yet, im sure many here watched the Blizzcon 2010, there in an Interview (a few weeks ago) one of Blizzard sayd they working on a "Battle.net 2.0" Integration of WarCraft 3, with RealID and stuff, the one that interviewed him was also surprised, me to, but thats really nice, he sayd WarCraft 3 has already mostly everything ready to be integrated in Battlenet 2.0, thats so nice, then you see in your StarCraft 2 Friendslist, or Wolf of WarCraft Friendslist if friends are playing WC3, i think thats the mainreason for the delay.

The final nail in war3's coffin would be having it use bnet2.0.
