Warcraft Patch Downloader

Today I've been downloading some updates for World of Warcraft. At first everything was going fine, I had given my Firewall permission to open a port for the downloader but I still encountered an error message saying that my Firewall was blocking access.



I went to the settings for my Netgear Router & turned on UPnP, I then opened several TCP ports, namely 6881-6999, 3724 & 6112. After a few minutes the warning message disappeared & everything was fine.

More information can be found in these links, here & here.

Fake Warcraft E-Mails

Recently I downloaded the Trial version of World of Warcraft from here.

After playing it for a few days I decided to go out & buy the actual game. So I purchased the Warcraft Battle Chest & a 60-Day Game Card which cost £30 altogether. A few days after I installed it I received an email saying that I needed to post my account details to someone because I had been caught trying to sell my account which is against the EULA agreement.



After some searching I discovered here that the email was a well known Phishing tactic & should be ignored.

If ever you receive a similar email asking you for personal details, I recommend deleting it as Blizzard will never ask for your personal details in any correspondence.

DarkBASIC Pro is now available for free & can be downloaded from here.

The only difference between this & the paid version is the appearance of a banner advert at the bottom of the IDE.
