User Interface

Didn't see a way to turn them off. Will WoW still work if you clear out the AddOns directory? I had better not try..

You might want to delete "WoW.exe" from the root directory of your installation, too, that's another unannounced intrusion by Blizzard into your system. Actually, just to be on the safe side, you better delete everything in there other than the SimpleSelfCast, Atlas and TitanAtlas add-ons that you installed yourself. Who knows if you can trust any of that other stuff? All those exe's and dll's, they could have viruses or spyware!!
