    Unless they can compel blizzard to provide the full source to the program, they cant prove which files are or are not part of the program's resources.

    Ah, one of the few benefits of proprietary software lockdown.

    Obviously you've never heard of File Advisor nor of the National Software Reference Library They may not have it today, but check back tomorrow.

    it does have a technical solution -- just don't let it run in the first place :) or more specifically, take the choice out of the (uninformed) end-user's hands and let the IT admin decide.

    lets you lock down PCs and stops anything new/unknown (from a network-wide perspective) from running without taking away admin rights.

    so if someone gets snuck an evil email attachment, it would be identified by the software as new to the network and blocked at the kernel level before the OS executes it. no signatures or AV needed.

    [full disclosure: yeah, i work at bit9, and the product rocks :)]
