The LoL Client is acting like a virus

IT crashes my PC, it crashes the game, it stops responding, it changes my wallpaper, it glitches my wallpaper, ctrl+ult+del doesnt work, alt+tab doesn't work, turns my computer screen white, turns my computer screen blue, turns my computer screen black, turns my computer screen red, it refuses to start back up again, it makes my screen flash, it makes windows 7 stop working, makes task manager stop responding, "failed to load dump file" whle in game and crashes/kicks me out of league.

Those are all of the bugs I can name off of the top of my head. I hope I can get some feedback on what to do about them.

That's not cool.

I know this is going to come across as a very generic answer, but the best way to solve these problems is to check out the troubleshooting page and, assuming you still have issues, contact player support. We'd need a lot more details to properly track down what's going on with your machine.

The LoL client... changed and glitched your wallpaper?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you have an actual virus, as well as having League installed. Just a hunch though.

Explain to me how "it turned your screen red"

You better start giving more details if you want this to be taken for something other then a troll post.

I should be thankful I am only experiencing Ping issues.

Okay, I was invited to a match after trying several times to start my own and the status changed to red and said could not connect to pvp server. I was just invited to a match by a friend of a friend through the find a friend crap and when I accepted It crashed and gave me an error box and asked if i wanted to try to reconnect. I clicked yes, game error screen, like computer zig zag scrambles on my computer and had to alt ctrl delete to close.

I have a big problem with LoL Client too. When i install it, its attached to it a batch file that delets LoL. Its saves the batch file in AppData so everytime i turn my computer on, it delets League of Legends. It was getting super anoying becuase apparently, it created annother batch file that used the time on my computer to see if the batch that deletes League of Legends was still there, and if i tryed to erase it, it would creat annother one that also deleted LoL. I downloaded Comodo Firewall because the firewall has a option to block certain programs from enterfering with another programs, in a way that it blocked the batch file, but didnt erased it. That way i could stop the problem.

You can edit it in the config's folder in C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\Config and open the "game.cfg" with notepad and in the first block of text, change Windowed Mode to 2, it should look like this WindowMode=2.

If you can go in-game, here is where you change it to Borderless: http://imgur.com/bYYsvrV

Try going in-game and changing it from Fullscreen to Borderless Windowed. It is sorta like Fullscreen but less of the Ctrl-Alt-Del problems and you can just Alt-Tab one time to go to another window.

Crashed my game and slowed down my computer. When I finally reconnected my FPS was dropping to abysmal levels (around 5-10) from a normal of 60. This bug is serious riot; too many people are disconnecting or failing to connect please fix.
