    • look for other clients installed
    • look at downloads folder
    • look at background processes
    • look for modified dates etc.
    • (we don't often go much deeper, unless you are Tommy and willingly send us your logs with wurst in them. going into computer services / logs / etc is too deep and is not expected of our staff - it also begins to become a breach of privacy for our players)
  • Discuss different outcomes from screenshares
    • They log off before screenshare
    • They don't log off but won't join vc
    • They join vc but wont screenshare
    • They screenshare but disconnect / log off
    • They screenshare and hacks are found
    • They screenshare and nothing is found but player is still heavily suspicious
