Hi, this program is being detected as forbidden by Counter Strike anti-cheat software. Do you have any more information on what exactly it does?

@Zac: I think ene.sys is part of Asus Aura RGB or Asus Aura Sync.

"Aura RGB LED lighting was developed to perfectly complement your gaming rig for a true expression of individuality. Aura RGB provides a nearly endless spectrum of colors, patterns and even the ability to link lighting to music, in-game action, or CPU/GPU temperatures."

Do you have a machine from Asus?

Also forbidden by Vanguard, the anti-cheat software for Valorant. Can also confirm have a ASUS RGB motherboard and graphics card, on both of which the RGB lighting stopped working (it now defaults to color cycling).

It also gives me the same problem with Vanguard, Valorant's anti_cheat software. How can I solve this problem?? I don't have an asus, nor do I have an asus aura rgb. How is it possible that I give this error ??

To avoid the problem with anti-cheat software, would it work to disable the Aura effects?

It should be possible to access the BIOS by pressing F2 during reboot. When the BIOS window shows up, toggle the Aura effect ON/OFF with F4.

Does that solve the anti-cheat detection problem?
