vanguard.ps1 is a special file called by powershell profile targeted at users who play Valorant.
It is a controller file that allows you to either enable
or disable
vgc
and vgk
along with an option to check their status (vgk_status
).
This is added as a measure to stop Vanguard from spying on its users all the time. Enable the rootkit, reboot and then start playing.
Note
After enabling, you need to restart your system to for Vanguard to initiate the surveillance.
Usage:
-
Enable Vanguard
vanguard enable
-
Disable Vanguard

Check Status
