Cartographer & Blacklisted files

Do I need to worry about the following lines in my debugger?

[2007/10/22 18:02:03] BLACKLISTED FILETYPE! -- REPORT THIS TO WOWROSTER.NET IMMEDIATELY! \\Interface\AddOns\Cartographer\cartographerlod.sh

it doesn't appear to be doing anything malicious
I think it's a tool to reorganize ... something. I haven't played with it, but it looks like it.

Code: Select all: @echo off cd .. rmdir /s /q Cartographer_Battlegrounds rmdir /s /q Cartographer_Coordinates rmdir /s /q Cartographer_Foglight rmdir /s /q Cartographer_GroupColors rmdir /s /q Cartographer_GuildPositions rmdir /s /q Cartographer_InstanceLoot rmdir /s /q Cartographer_InstanceMaps rmdir /s /q Cartographer_InstanceNotes rmdir /s /q Cartographer_LookNFeel rmdir /s /q Cartographer_Notes rmdir /s /q Cartographer_POI rmdir /s /q Cartographer_Professions rmdir /s /q Cartographer_ZoneInfo rmdir /s /q Cartographer_Waypoints cd Cartographer move Cartographer_Battlegrounds ..\Cartographer_Battlegrounds move Cartographer_Coordinates ..\Cartographer_Coordinates move Cartographer_Foglight ..\Cartographer_Foglight move Cartographer_GroupColors ..\Cartographer_GroupColors move Cartographer_GuildPositions ..\Cartographer_GuildPositions move Cartographer_InstanceLoot ..\Cartographer_InstanceLoot move Cartographer_InstanceMaps ..\Cartographer_InstanceMaps move Cartographer_InstanceNotes ..\Cartographer_InstanceNotes move Cartographer_LookNFeel ..\Cartographer_LookNFeel move Cartographer_Notes ..\Cartographer_Notes move Cartographer_POI ..\Cartographer_POI move Cartographer_Professions ..\Cartographer_Professions move Cartographer_ZoneInfo ..\Cartographer_ZoneInfo move Cartographer_Waypoints ..\Cartographer_Waypoints

It seems to be working now for the post part.

These types of files could be used to do malice. Cartographer has these types of files as a convenience to reorganize things within itself, and does nothing harmful as far as I can see.

Anyone getting the message for Cartographer can IMHO ignore them as the addon certainly does not need them to run, and they appear to be harmless.

The thing this file does... is to remove the Cartographer-addons listed, and move the new addon from Cartographer folder to "addon" folder.

It's a method to replace outdated Cartographer-addons.

So.. to the end... There is practically no need of it!
