Warcraft III Custom Map Security Warning
We have identified an exploit that could allow malicious software to be spread through Warcraft III maps. We have applied a temporary fix to address this issue when playing on Battle.net, and we are working on a patch to permanently address the issue when playing on a LAN or playing single-player custom maps. In the meantime, we recommend that players avoid downloading maps from unofficial sources or websites they do not trust -- be aware that corrupted maps may share the same name as other popular maps. If you encounter custom maps that no longer function or other issues related to this fix, please post details below.

That was already posted weeks ago by other Blizzard employees. What you should have said is that there is still no permanent fix...

Just download Dota from their official site and don't play other custom crap. DUH.

Never play any TD, I assume? I love to play as much new maps as I can. Oh well, my gaming pc is cut off the internet anyway. [/sad]

The lateness of it would be why it's not-so important anymore.

It's temporary fixed btw. But Bliz is still working on a patch for it.
