Viruses in WC3 Maps - Possible Again?

[Deolrin]

I've been checking on TheHelper forums in order to keep track of one of my favorite WC3 projects to date, WCIV: Edge of Eternity, when I noticed a global announcement claiming that viruses can once again be transfered using WC3 maps.

Apparently a script was found that makes it possible for a file to download, install and run every time you reboot your computer, or something like that. The thread is here:

So anyways. Just don't play any WC3 maps you don't have on your computer yet and wait for Blizzard to patch WC3 again, if they're even planning to do that.

Wow, seems WC3 map now can be used as a .zip file....

Bleh. Apparently J4L already reported it to Blizzard.

lol guys, you can import everything in the Import Folder, it just has to follow the size rules--

Why do I have a feeling this will lead to I/O?
