I think you've got it wrong, the DEV asked a user to download and run a
different utility than the one present in the game folder (same name, different
files ~400kb vs ~250kb). I ran it and it simply added both starcraft.exe and
mdnsresponder.exe to the Windows firewall. When I run the game, the pop up
doesn't show anymore but the problem still remains.
I deleted starcraft.exe and mdnsresponder.exe entries from the firewall
whitelist, and I ran StarCraft from the USB drive. The popup appears, I press
OK but nothing is added to the firewall. The moment I select a gateway and try
to login I get a message from the Windows Firewall asking to add StarCraft to
the whitelist. mdnsresponder.exe is not whitelisted but the game still runs.

It may be worth noting that while the text is not rendered, the starcraft
doesn't lock. I can't still go back in the menus.
