this is a non-issue. blizzard isnt "spying" or collecting info, they are checking for cheat programs related to their software. This is so not a big deal as programs check all the time for the presence of other apps (haven't you ever been told during an install to close a specific app before continuing install?). This is not a battle worth the attention it's being given. It's like people who wont enter their credit card online for fear of having the number stolen but have no problem handing their card a waiter when they go out to eat. When we worry about things inconsistently or get swept up in the mob frenzy we do stupid things and lose sight of what's important.
