Only when your brother logs in with his account? Or when you log in with your account as well?

There is a chance your computer has a virus on it. Because of the real life value of World of WarCraft content people have created viruses to compromise your login details. These quite possibly work by damaging the World of WarCraft executables so that they send a copy of your login details to a criminal (and would probably return an error saying you were unable to login due to a service outage). However because of recent patches changing the executable structure such viruses that are old would no longer work and instead corrupt the executables (why it throws a floating point not supported error).

Delete all such executables, do a virus scan and then let the downloader repair them.

Hmm... What do you mean by deleting all the executables? Anyways It also creates a MANIFEST file in the folder and has Microsoft in the file name.

Thanks for your help so far! Doing a virus scan right about now...

EDIT: I start having the error only when my brother goes to his acc and then back to mine. When I last had WoW before Cataclysm I used to come at night check my game (it was always corrupted), and reainstall it, I would then turn off my computer and tomorrw I would come back to play my favourite game. Everything worked fine, but when I get home from school(there is a 99.99999% that my brother was on it doing stuff) it's not working.

But, one morning i played a little, downloaded some file from the internet can't remember what, and BAM wow is corrupted
