"NVIDIA Capture Server Proxy" What's that?

[le creep]

I downloaded Geforce Experience and noticed that add-on on my task manager, I noticed that it's meant for the 'Shadowplay' feature to record videos. Is it safe? Could it get me a VAC ban? Could it get my account suspended while purchasing a game on Steam?

It's safe.

It won't get you VAC banned, and it wouldn't get your account suspended while purchasing a game on Steam.

Really? Why would known manufacturer put suspicious stuff in their softwares?
If it doesn't tamper with memory, it's not interesting for VAC.
Account can be suspended if the purchase was made with fraud money or other illegal means.

Overall Shadowplay is (apparently) like any video capture soft, only less resource using.

I'm thinking the word 'proxy' is why he got worried with the Steam Store & suspension. But the task doesn't exactly change his external IP, so it shouldn't affect a thing.

(Not that it's even registered as a network adapter anyway ;p)

Thank you for your reply, I was worried whether I should I un-install it. That cleared my thoughts.

Thanks for the quick answer, I now understand of the matter.

The real question is whether or not it has to be enabled upon start-up. It has a medium level impact on my start-up performance and I don't even record my games so do I really need this?

It is a server proxy service for whenever the Streaming Service is used.
Again it's official NVIDIA and deemed safe.

If u don't want that extra stuff on your machine (like u do not use Streaming and such) you can disable such service under Control Panel > Admin Tools > Services

Or simply uninstall Geforce Experience and leave the NVIDIA GPU Drivers + PhysX installed.

because companies can be taken over by hacker attacks, has happened many times, even to games on steam when an unclean update was pushed by accident.

however, if they haven't been compromised, then no legitimate software will get you a vac ban.

Rundll32.exe is a vital Windows component.

Remove it´s entry from registry.
You find it in this path ...

>>>Computador\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run<<<

There you find a REG_SZ value named ShadowPlay >>>A null-terminated string. An Unicode or an ANSI string<<<

Just remove it.
