Even though Honorbuddy got hit a few times, and pretty hard too, it seems that it’s still the most popular go-to bot when it comes to automating things in WoW. This might be unrelated, but the timing of the ban is very similar to the timing of Blizzard deciding to into the World of Warcraft pack, thus making it a bit more comfortable for banned players to purchase new licenses and give up on the closed ones.

To Repair Before you remove any programs, see if a simple reboot of the machine will clear the problem you are having. Sometimes, Windows (or its dependencies or services) gets into a state that causes the same symptoms as an interfering program. This state is cleared with a simple reboot.

This post will walk you through the process of getting that cleaned up: To Repair from Interfering Programs Most of the time, it is sufficient to make certain that none of the interfering programs are running.

Why issues now? Obviously, something did change—otherwise, the Buddy bot would still be working. But, 'the change' might not be attributable to direct user actions.
'Nothing changed' is a specious argument. Many programs that you install will update without asking for your permission, or notifying you. For example, most Antivirus will silently update multiple times a day in this manner. Such updates can contain new fingerprints or heuristic algorithms that will interfere with Buddy bots. On the flip side, a new release of a Buddy bot may contain a new algorithm that the interfering program now conflicts with. Buddy bots understand their role in the system, and only use programming techniques that comply with Msoft programming standards. The same cannot be said about these interfering programs.
'Tool', 'utility', and 'video' programs are usually the most egregious—using questionable programming techniques, or violate Msoft expectations for complaint programs. You might have had an interfering program on your computer for a while, and its been innocuous so far. But one day, it will up and bite your Buddy bot for no apparent reason.
Do I really have to remove the program? Why isn't disabling it enough? For many programs, disabling is frequently not enough to prevent it from interfering. These programs frequently hook the OS, or run background daemons that will interfere—even when they are disabled.
To prevent interference, some programs actually must be uninstalled, not simply disabled. Is this list of interfering programs complete? With literally tens of thousands of programs people can install, our list only includes the popular ones that we've confirmed interfere with Buddy bots. Your machine may have a less-popular program that interferes, or one that we've yet to identify. If you find a new program that interferes, please let us know so we can update the list.
