Riot Vanguard 1.17.6.2

Riot Vanguard is a security program developed by Riot Games, Inc. to protect their games, such as Valorant, from cheats and exploits.

If you want to play Valorant or other Riot Games titles, you need to install Riot Vanguard as part of their anti-cheat measures. Without it, you will not be able to play the game.

Riot Games has stated that Riot Vanguard is completely safe and will not harm your computer. They use industry-standard security practices and regularly update the program to fix any potential vulnerabilities.

Yes, you can uninstall Riot Vanguard at any time by going to your control panel and uninstalling it like any other program. However, if you do so, you will not be able to play Valorant or other Riot Games until you reinstall it.

Riot Vanguard uses a combination of kernel-level drivers and user-mode code to monitor your computer for hacks and exploits. They keep the specifics of their detection methods secret in order to prevent hackers from circumventing them.

If Riot Vanguard detects a cheat on your computer, you will be permanently banned from playing Valorant and other Riot Games. Additionally, Riot may take legal action against you depending on the severity of the violation.

Riot Vanguard collects information about your hardware and some system-level interactions in order to detect cheats and improve their anti-cheat measures. However, they do not collect any personal data such as your name or browsing history.

Riot Vanguard needs kernel-level access in order to monitor your computer for cheats and exploits. This is necessary because some hacks operate at a lower level than user-mode programs and would be able to avoid detection otherwise.

Riot Games has stated that they have optimized Riot Vanguard to minimize any impact on your game performance. However, since Riot Vanguard operates at a low level within your computer, it may still cause some performance overhead depending on your hardware configuration.

Riot Games has taken numerous measures to prevent cheating in their games, including Riot Vanguard. While it is theoretically possible to bypass these measures, doing so would be illegal and risk permanent bans and even legal action. It is strongly recommended that players play the game fairly and without exploiting cheats or hacks.
