I'd say false positive.
The blizzard downloader pulls files from a remote site and executes them (patching). That's probably why it's seen as a trojan.

Blizzard are cool.

it's a false positive indeed! I don't think a company like Blizzard will do that at all, especially if it has millions of fans ;)

If it ever turned out to be a real virus it would probably run on CNN
