Not sure how I can go about deleting this file since Valorant keeps flagging it but I have never installed anything that resembles the company. Any tips on uninstalling?

NOTE: This project is legacy and no longer activly supported by me. I am unable to build and sign the driver in any case.
The code and downloads are left here for anyone else to take over. If you do decide to take on any further development, please let me know so I can update links etc.

InpOut32 is an open source windows DLL and Driver to give direct access to hardware ports (for example the parallel and serial port from user level programs. It is originally developed by the people at Logix4U for Windows 9x and 32bit variations of NT (NT/2000/XP/2003 etc.).

Si I'll delete it.

I had this appear after I installed "OpenHardwareMonitor" on my computer. Riot's Vanguard kept prompting me that I have this thing and it refused to load it after boot. At least I knew I had something fishy. I don't think it's a malware or anything like that so to speak, but still, it's sus.
