Description

@wilksy

This software needs to be changed / updated to be credible.

Great hardware, software is bloated and also not well documented.

also if you are a gamer, this driver may well get you banned.

"anti-cheat systems might flag this version and ban people precisely because it can be used for modification of arbitrary memory locations - if people are using this app and they end up banned out of the blue they might wonder why - this is a possible reason of the "why".

as the very least, WinRing0 needs to be optional at install.
