Is Valorant Litecoin/crypto coin mining?

There was a threat that was excluded by Windows Defender which was saying Win64/coinminer this is located in valorant's directory. Which explains why the vangarud is always running in the background, I haven't opened valorant in like more than 30 days and why does it show like 1.67TB i don't think it is glitch or bug whatever it is. And i have only about 650GB total space in my PC

I recommend deleting valorant running a antivirus scan and reinstalling it.

I've seen issues with Valorant reporting massive sizes from many people, so you aren't alone. I don't know the cause however. I'd suggest uninstalling it and reinstalling it.
