Hello, here is my advice.
Today I accessed battle.net and hearthstone needed an update.
Usually updates just work fine, but this time it asked for admin rights. I agreed since it’s battle.net, though I began to wonder later.
I don’t recall hearthstone ever asking for admin privileges before, which made me a bit suspicious.
I was curious if anyone could explain why this might have happened.
I don’t use battle.net with admin access, but I read on Blizzard’s website that their games require admin rights for updates. Still, it’s never been requested before, and I’ve been playing hearthstone for a while now.
Thank you very much.

Don't be concerned, the B.net client is quite secure.

it only adds to my concern since it's not a situation that usually occurs 😅
