New Cross-Promotion

[Lukeirish]

Heads up, I just found out AVA will install GameGuard on your PC.

It's suggested that you fully remove it from your computer when you're done getting the promotion item. But, simply deleting AVA will not remove GameGuard. It's sneaky and will try to hide in places like your system32 folder.

Here's a guide on how to fully remove it: http://www.aionsource.com/topic/53559-how-to-completly-remove-nprotect-game-guard/

What is GameGuard?

What is GameGuard?

It's an anti-cheating rootkit.

People hate it because it spies on you to make sure you aren't cheating and it can only be uninstalled manually.

A.V.A. crashes like 10 secs after I join every freaking time I launch it.

Does it matter if I leave it installed on my computer?

Just got the knife yesterday...she looks so purdy.

No, after you receive the item you can just delete the other game if you want.

I'd only leave if it installed if you plan on continuing to play AVA or any other game that uses GameGuard. It has a bad reputation among the gaming community and has been accused of being a back door to personal information if you get a virus.

It only takes 5 minutes to remove it manually.
