My brother claims that Vanguard for League can do the same to gaming PCs that install it as CrowdStrike did to businesses who installed that, is this true? Does Vanguard have as much access/power?

    I’m confused. If you don’t install the game, how do you end up with the game specific anti cheat software on your system?

      The anti cheat software’s code is in a separate file from the game files, which malware can ship themselves.
