First off I’m not a fanboy when blizzard makes a mistake I’m usually the first one to point it out. The fact is you are using a work computer which has a robust security suite on it to play a game means any one of the previous patches could have broken it. This patch made enough changes to the program to consider it a threat . Running a computer that you have no control over the security software is the same as running unsupported hardware any patch could break it and prevent it from working.

It’s not, but whatever. It worked fine, worked for many, many patches and suddenly it didn’t. I trust blizzard to not follow the proper release checklist - maybe the antivirus compliance guy was fired in the last layoffs. 
We’ll never know for sure, but I’m positive that Blizzard did something wrong in that patch and all we can do is pray to Sophos and other AV vendors release a fix sooner rather than later.

It’s fixed!! I just logged on with no issues so Sophos must have pushed out the fix. Now I can play at work too! lol

Still doesn’t work for me and I’ve never had SOPHOS. It started to work briefly before the hearthstone events but it’s back to problematic. Half of the time I can keep launching the game and it might let me in, half of the time it won’t work at all. Game works okay once it is finally launched and logged in.

Lmao! Still mad bro?
Back to this same old problem.
After they fixed it with the patches, now a new patch and they must have left the fix out.
But I guess forum MVPs will start claiming Blizz can do nothing, lol

We are not saying Blizz is free of blame every single time. But what we are saying is that the majority of players are able to play the game without issue, and a tiny thread of people who are having problems likely have something in common on their PC.

I was playing on my second computer and tried my workstation again this week just to face the same issue as before. Looks like a moving target and we won’t have peace between Sophos and Blizzard games.
To anyone still having issues with Sophos:
I’ve found this thread on Sophos Community saying that they are aiming to release the Blizzard fix mi-May.
Can’t post links, but you can search for sophos community blizzard-game-clash
game wont launch for me today 
I have the same issue and it remains unresolved. However, I have this issue for all my blizzard games: DIablo IV, WOW retail and WOW classic.
Still not fixed and require latest Sophos Maintenance Release (MR4) for WoW and Diablo to start.
WoW and D4 won’t launch still.
So, I copied the entire WoW folder from my laptop and copied it to my PC. The game now launches. So, a completely fresh install of Windows and BNet and the game didn’t do anything, but copying from somewhere else did? Going to try this on D4 to see if this “trick” works there as well. In any case, super LAME.
