The vulnerable update daemon is running all of the time if you've installed any Blizzard game in the past, not just if you currently play Blizzard games?

I believe they've patched it already. But if you haven't updated the updater yet, you're probably still vulnerable.
The posting says that the patch is not very good, but that's a separate issue.
Edge in particular was missing, I don't think that uses "iexplore.exe".
On my machine the Blizzard launcher only checks for updates and updates itself when you run it so if you have it installed but haven't run it in a while you might not have the most recent.
