banned for unauthorized third-party software?
To stop it happening again, it's pretty obv, just have a fresh install of Windows, ensure no malware on PC, find a better site to pirate if you're going to pirate, because chances r you've got the malware from pirated copies of games, only install trusted programs.

You don't know what sort of malware it was, what the intentions of the malware is, etc.

You can try but I doubt it. They'd just say it's your own fault for allowing malware onto your PC by not downloading w/ caution.

I'd say it's unlikely that a genuine program has caused this issue, me & my friends have all used Valorant Tracker, OverWolf, Blitz before - some of them still use Blitz. We all have keyboard software, mouse software, headphone software; none of us have ever been banned. I even use Razer's new SnapTap feature and I've never been banned personally.
Chances are you've got something on your system that's causing Vanguard to detect it, not everything that is running is in your taskbar - to see what is actually running, go into task manager, some tasks, especially malware, is hidden.
I'd say do a fresh install of Windows after removing the viruses.
Riot Employees aren't allowed to share details of the ban because then you're basically telling cheaters, or cheat-developers, exactly why they were banned, what specifically was detected, etc.
