In addition to serving as a starting point for playing World of Warcraft, the Blizzard Launcher is designed as a means for us to deliver World of Warcraft news, provide links to important community- and support-related updates, and notify you of Trojan or third-party World of Warcraft cheat programs running on the computer on which you're playing the game. The goal with the Blizzard Launcher is to provide quick and easy access to information that would be of interest or assistance to you as a World of Warcraft player.
