It was sent to a supervisor who approved it and said as long as it does not automate or think on its own your fine.

So overall I think the risk chance is extremely low, but this is just my opinion.
Still, if there is a risk of losing characters with 60days game time is dangerous to say the least. I was bored a bit, so I asked a gm (eu realms).

I got a bit annoyed of the automated answering gm's are doing these days so i stopped herassing him/her. Guess I will write an email to that address and see what i get in return.

Also i read once that blizzard installes software that detects, or trys to detect software interfering with their processes? (btw excuse my english, not my native language, and am a bit tired )
Never trust a GM for any type of rule information. All they're good for is reporting bugs. I've seen so many posts on GM's giving conflicting information .

The one you talked to never said anything other than the vague "Third party software" line. Nothing about the fact that's it's only third party software that interacts with WoW that is banned. So according to him, running FireFox or your favorite IM client while playing WoW is using 3rd party software and can get you banned! Oh noes!
