Then those news sites don't understand either.

If you read, ArsTechnica was referring to a protocol that Steam uses at well which allows you to initialize a game or join a server by clicking on a link; that's the browser exploit they are referring to.

TO EVERYONE READING: You do not need to launch through a shortcut. Origin is fine.

EDIT: In fact, if you would like an example of such a command, you could take a look at the Servers page on blockland.us itself; clicking the join button initializes a command similar to the one that can be exploited.

Except for the part where EA can scan your PC and doesn't say what they are looking for while Valve only scans your pc to see how often you use it. It's not the fact that I have anything to hide, its the fact EA gave themselves the power to go through your stuff. It's against the law to break into EA's building and search through their files, but they can look through your pc for pirated software.
