    I recommend people to stay away from Guardio. They are really sketchy and employ scare tactics to try to make you pay. Like the ones McCafee and Norton use. Bit sad that a channel about security promotes this but you can't refuse easy money i guess. Basically dont trust any UA-camrs when they talk about a sponsor, it's either a scam or some overpriced useless thing.

    So we're not cool with Vanguard But we're cool with all the other stuff that is running 24/7? Permanent connection with Microsoft servers, Google servers, maybe some anti virus system servers, you have Steam running, maybe Epic Games, Discord, your internet provider, your VPN, etc The only difference in data collection is who is collecting it Tencent, Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Kaspersky, maybe the NSA, CIA, Interpol, FSB, etc And then they sell it to some ad companies and suddenly you get banner ads about things you searched online or talked about If someone wants to collect your data, they will collect it, tray icon or not

    Riot's intentions are very clear here; I have seen maybe two hackers in League in the last 5 years, and nobody complains about it anymore. It's insanely obvious if someone is cheating, and when everyone reports them they will be banned. Their only reason for making us install this is to gain access to our PC

    Your point its very interesting and even shareable. I even make a request on support's Riot to explain how vanguard use over 70% of cpu in some moment when I play the game. I make even a request why, after a few minutes after I start the game, I had dropbox active on background. The answer I received is a "no answer". Like please uninstall dropbox we not had relationship with that program. Recently I receive these answers in sequence uninstall antivirus->uninstall and reinstall valorant->make a new installation of Windows->please call a pc's expert. Bullshit I'm a IT guy (not a very high one but modest one). For my luck I had another SSD to make this stupid request but, the problem (disconnection for first), not change. Riot made a mess with Valorant. I'd like to see if someone put a stop.

    Wrote a quick timestamped summary: 1:18: Running process explorer, things may look normal and clean. However, malicious software such as crypto-miners can cleverly imbedded themselves deeper in the system Download the Sysinternals Suite from Microsoft, which contains the Process Explorer and TCP view programs which we will be using, plus many more. 2:04 We want to not only remove the malware from our computer, but would also like to find any IP addresses the malicious software is connecting to, so that we can report them to the suitable authorities (e.g. if they're connecting to an IP Address of a cloud service like AWS, report it to them and they will take it down) 2:17 Wireshark is not necessary, as you don't need to look at the packets of information, but only you need to know which suspicious connections are being made. 2:30: Process Explorer shows high CPU and RAM usage, but for a legitimate-looking process. Is it an update? We should check the IP address to see if it looks legit 3:17 right-click on process, select properties. Go to TCP/IP to view the network connections being made by the process. Tick 'resolve addresses' 4:29 Back to Process Explorer, hover over the process to view the command line which was used to run the process. If it's a crypto-miner, anything like '--max-threads = ' is going to be a parameter the hackers set up when running the crypto miner program. A jumbled password-looking thing would be a key, which is also indicative of a crypto-miner 5:10 Open TCP View to list all the remote addresses that all of the computer's processes are connecting to. Click the square with 3 dots in the top left to resolve addresses. Looks for any addresses which look out of place. Disabling all other programs that connect to addresses (e.g. Skype, Discord, Spotify, Chrome) will make it easier to filter out legitimate connections. Right click on the dodgy-looking address to view all details of the address. An icann.org complaint form is listed where you can report the address. 7:07: Clever malware might disable itself when you open the task manager 8:20: Going back to Process Explorer, terminate the process tree associated with the malware by right-clicking on it and selecting 'Kill process tree' Extra notes: Make sure to view the previous video to learn about Persistence Mechanisms that malware might use to re-install itself

    Just a heads up for anyone facing this and actually wants to do something about it. Contact McAfee's chat support and say you want to report one of their official affiliates for using malicious or deceptive practices, such as fake 'virus detected' popups, and then provide them with all relevant links. They will then (apparently) deal with the issue as appropriate, but due to data protection you will not be informed of the outcome (that's pretty standard).
