Ever heard of "Gameguard"?
« on: November 19, 2006, 08:19:02 AM »
I just got Phantasy Star Universe and it came with GameGuard. However, I just found out that GG is a form of malware and possibly a trojin. I do not want this, I really want to get rid of it and I don't think deleting the GG folder in the PSU folder is going to help anything. I don't want to be stuck with this and I need some help, badly.

    Where did you find out that it could possibly be Malware / Trojan.
    This other website seems to say otherwise:

      More stuff here. says it messes with the npptnt2.sys driver.

      It's either the npptnt2.sys(says on top link) or npptnt2.vxd(says on bottom link).

        And any article is open to being edited.

        There have been a few slander lawsuits already of a questionable beginning...

          dude, u should go read ur installation terms, and if there's nothing that says u give permission to install gameguard on ur pc; go call the company!

          I'm almost sure it will be in the EULA somewhere...
