Of course this WAS pre-2.0, however I'd say that blizzard's patcher seeking out my wow.exe shortcuts and changing their target to Launcher.exe probably backs that up a little...

The Launcher searches the active processes for known keyloggers. Starting WoW directly doesn't perform this check. Warden is completely separate.
