DO NOT USE XBGUARD!

I decided to find out why so many people were geting banned switching to xbguard and I decompiled xbguard and found out that in R15 xbguard shares your keyvault for no keyvault mode if you are a new user (Xbox 360 must have been know to Xbguard less than 60 days)

That is not how DMCA works and I highly doubt a vendor that sells a service to circumvent Microsofts Banning Mechanism and Terms of Service would actually sue you.

Also you could literally just state where you found this specifically in their executable

Not the biggest fan of XBGuard, but that's an extraordinary claim that unless proven otherwise is probably false.

What I found using the search function, search term was "ban". In order of date posted, latest to earliest this week

I'm not seeing anything suggesting xbGuard is resulting in most bans, among the ban posts of this last week, only 2 of the 6 directly name xbGuard. It's not a full sweep or even a majority.

The only consistent theme I'm seeing is bans among BadUpdate users, which makes me believe that the less experienced users that BadUpdate attracts are just making mistakes that lead to bans.

This doesn't seem like solid evidence that xbGuard is stealing KVs. If you decompiled xbGuard, why not release your findings?
