The LG Monitor App Installer, identified by YouTube channel Gamers Nexus, installs automatically when a compatible LG monitor is connected to a Windows PC.
The monitor isn’t doing anything, it’s Windows doing this shit. The monitor just says to the PC “Hi, I’m an LG monitor, model number XYZ”. Every modern monitor does this. Windows then phones home and downloads a driver package for the monitor based on the brand and model, which includes this malware.
This is on both Microsoft for allowing this shit, and on LG for abusing the system.
Then again, if you’re still using Windows in 2026 you kinda deserve it.
