Those who use Comcast's security suite very recently received an update that installs GuardedID (GID) on your system. Unfortunately this anti-keylogger program is not gaming-friendly and will scramble your key presses inside many games making them unplayable.

Note: This issue will probably seem very familiar to those who use Lenovo laptops

-------------------
Toggling GID off before launching a game (Instructions courtesy of the official GID FAQ):

"Before you launch these games , right click on the "G" in you system tray (bottom right) and "Exit" GuardedID. You will then be able to game with no issues. After you are finished gaming, go to start/run/programs/Guardedid and click on Desktop to restart GuardedID's Desktop protection."
-------------------

The solution is to disable or remove the GID program. Here's some nice workflows:

Prevent GID application from Starting Up
1. Click Start
2. Click Run
3. Type "msconfig"
4. Select "Startup" tab
5. Unchecked GID desktop application
6. Press OK then reboot laptop.

or

Uninstall GID Application from Windows
1. Click Start
2. Click Control Panel
3. Click Add / Remove Programs
4. Search for "GID" / "GID Desktop Application
5. Select the item and select uninstall
6. Reboot when uninstallaion is done.

Play some more. If you truly deserve silver, then you'll be placed there.

Think of it this way, it will be easy to rank up if you beat your opponents.
