The Warcraft Glider is a software programme that plays the popular computer game World of Warcraft characters for you the way you want it. While you go about your daily life such as sleep, eat, work, attend class or do whatever else, Glider controls your WOW character automatically — fighting monsters, casting spells, collecting treasure and accumulating the credit points required to advance and become more powerful, all on its own.

The Glider was eventually ruled illegal because it contravened the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA.) The DMCA makes it illegal for anyone trying to circumvent technological protection measures which a software uses to protect its functionality.
