VALORANT, a game developed by Riot Games, which is owned by Tencent, a big Chinese company, also comes with its own kernel-level anti-cheat. Concerns have been raised in the past, and these news do not help.

I would like to play both Valorant and Genshin Impact but they both install kernel-level anti-cheat. :(


"Somehow, a driver called Netfilter that redirects traffic to an IP in China and installs a root certificate to the registry managed to make it through that testing without being detected as malware."


Amazing Microsoft. Doing good work as always to assure a secure operating system for the masses
