    New Blizzard Launcher

    So I've been using the new launcher for a while now.
    While it's nice it's making my Malwarebyte yell at me.

    With the only thing up (launcher) Malwarebytes keeps blocking 93.115.84.122.
    I'm using pro version so others may not be getting the blocking since it's a feature of the pro version.

    Since I've uninstalled the launcher I have not had a single warning blocking the IP address.
    And the blocks only started when I installed the launcher.

    So besides me just saying this I was wondering if anyone else has come across this?
    And it has an interesting location http://en.utrace.de/ip-address/93.115.84.122 but love to know why it's attached to the new launcher.

    Been using the new launcher for awhile now and haven't had any problems with Malwarebytes myself in most cases it's likely a false positive. However I am using the standard edition so no clue what's going on with yours.

    Just downloaded it about an hour ago, and I also have malwarebytes. I haven't had any issues with it at all. Using the Pro version too.

    It's not finding a virus it's blocking a IP address.
    And yeah the standard version doesn't have the malicious IP blocking.

    Good. Keep an eye on it it's not blocking many times it's once every so often.
    I only noticed because I'm watching netflix on my laptop and was letting my desktop sit and I had on the launcher and now and then I'd get the tone for a blocked IP.

    Yeah I have the freeware MWB and the launcher and haven't had the same issue... contact MWB I think.

    The default setting for "Future Patch Data" is 20 KB/s.

    You're probably downloading a regular update which is defaulted to not have a limit. The app doesn't give your DL speed for 'Future patch data'.

    TL;DR - The main progress bar doesn't show because you don't need this data yet - our thinking is you should be able to ignore this and not let it interrupt your game play.

    For those who are interested here's a little more info: We call this "next patch" or "future patch" data. Ronny, we deliberately trickle this type data down really slowly because we don't want to choke your connection for data you don't actually need yet. But we do want you to be ready to go on patch day without waiting for a massive patch. So the default is to trickle... Does that make sense?

    As blackwidow notes the default download speed for future patch data is 20 KB/s but you can configure this in settings if you have a beefy connection and/or you just want to get it done. (Game Install/Update>Future patch data)

    We have some ideas for showing more information, some of which you've touched on here but it would be unwise of me to promise exactly what we're going to do or when we might be able to do it. Everything is subject to scheduling and iteration! )

    We do appreciate your feedback on this, FWIW in this case it sounds like we're heading in the right direction. Please keep it coming! (Source)

    Like I said it's not a rapid blocking it's every so often.
    Keep an eye on it. It's been 4 hours now and no new blocks so I feel it's safe to say the launcher was causing the problem.

    I do know this update increased the frequency of the blocks.

    nothing from malware on mine, its just really slow.

    when i open the launcher it takes a while to open, then i click play on WoW and it takes even longer, would be quicker for me to just launch WoW and login.
