Warcraft III
What is Warcraft III?
Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos is a real time strategy video game released by Blizzard Entertainment. It is the second sequel to Warcraft: Orcs & Humans, and it is the third game set in the Warcraft Universe. A game of Warcraft III takes place on a map of varying size, such as large plains and fields, with terrain features like rivers, mountains, seas, or cliffs. In Campaign mode, the map is initially covered with the Black Mask, an impenetrable covering.
Overview
A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The primary executable is named Warcraft III.exe. The setup package generally installs about 68 files and is usually about 1.11 GB (1,190,259,443 bytes). The installed file BNUpdate.exe is the auto-update component of the program which is designed to check for software updates and notify and apply them when new versions are discovered.
