Re: the truth is

The sad truth is that the same coding methods used in Warden can and HAVE been used by the cheats to defeat warden. The cheats even have their own 'anti-spyware' program called "Tripwire" that reads what warden is doing and immediately terminates all cheating applications if needed.

One of the vendors of the cheating software has said that they already identified the changes made to warden stating that they are "not actually new" and will have a new version of their software including an updated Tripwire package within a few days.

Basically, why are blizzard forcing invasive software down their customer's throats that simply doesn't work?

No I don't play wow, but as has been seen by other "harmless" applications that send information back to the parent company, they can be hijacked giving full access to parts of the user's system (google toolbar anyone?).
