So, here it is. Use it, or not. Just giving you the option to block a process that I consider to be a huge violation of privacy and system security.
create a text file, rename to debugger.reg, edit, paste the following, save, right-click & select merge (or double click to run it), ok the pop-up notices, kill wowvoiceproxy.exe in task manager, fin

If Blizzard wishes to chime in, it is their forum and they could if they felt it was necessary… and yet, they have not (so far), so read into that what you will. Also, in all the time I have been blocking their VC, I have had no contact from them about it, nor any action taken against me for it.
I will not be responding to this post (any more), just putting it out there for reference, and it can be preemptively locked just to prevent trolls from climbing on their soap boxes.
