http://i5.5cm.ru/i/q040.png WowMatrix is a free WoW AddOn Installer and Updater that's completely safe to use and contains no keyloggers or spyware. http://i5.5cm.ru/i/ohPy.png Link - - - Added - - - [spoiler=FAQ.]What is WowMatrix? WowMatrix helps you download, install and update from a selection of quality World of Warcraft AddOns created by your favorite AddOn authors from all over the world. Is WowMatrix safe to use? Yes, absolutely. We are probably even more paranoid about security than you are. That's one of the reasons we created our own software: so we can update our World of Warcraft AddOns easily without worrying about spyware or keyloggers. In fact, WowMatrix comes with a security feature built-in that prevents executable files from being extracted from AddOn downloads. This eliminates the possibility of installing AddOns that contain harmful executable components. For tips and recommendations on how to keep your gaming account and other personal details secure, visit our Safe Computing page, or Technical support. Is WowMatrix really free to use? Yes, it is. At this time, there are no plans to charge any fees. We originally created this software for ourselves and felt we really had to share it with the world since it saves people so many hours of precious time. We're constantly adding new features to WowMatrix based on suggestions from thousands of happy users worldwide. How do I install WowMatrix? Simply download WowMatrix from our website, extract it from the zip file and place it anywhere you wish, such as on your desktop for easy access. How do I un-install WowMatrix? First, if you also wish to un-install any in-game WoW AddOns, open WowMatrix and use it to un-install them. Next, to un-install WowMatrix itself: On a Mac or Linux computer, drag WowMatrix to the Trash. On Windows, drag WowMatrix to the Recycle Bin. If you're on a Windows PC and get a "Destination Folder Access Denied" error message when trying to delete WowMatrix, please see this step-by-step solution. Does WowMatrix require me to download additional software such as Python, Java or the .NET framework? Not at all. WowMatrix is a simple, lightweight application. It will automatically install any necessary lightweight components (such as curl.exe, see next question) and does not require you to download or install any additional and bulky items such as Python, Java or the .NET framework. What is 'curl.exe' and why does WowMatrix try to run it? WowMatrix uses the 'curl.exe' (Curl) when performing certain operations, such as checking for the latest version of AddOns. It is safe to allow WowMatrix to automatically install and run 'curl.exe' if prompted by your security software. Curl is a lightweight open-source command line tool for transferring files over the Internet. You can read more about Curl at their official website here. If you have a Mac running OS X, Curl is already included by Apple, so WowMatrix automatically uses the built-in version. Does WowMatrix require admin privileges on my Windows PC? WowMatrix does not normally require admin privileges on Windows. However, if you are running Windows Vista or higher, and for some reason have World of Warcraft installed in the 'Program Files' folder (instead of the recommended default location specified by Blizzard during the installation), then WowMatrix will try to run with admin privileges because that is the only way to properly install WoW AddOns on such systems. If this is the case for you, and you would like to avoid the annoying Vista/7/8 prompts due to WowMatrix running with admin privileges, you may wish to permanently move the entire the 'World of Warcraft' folder out of the 'Program Files' folder, as recommended by Blizzard. This will also resolve a number of Blizzard updater issues, if you've been experiencing those. Information from the official website of the program.
