Q: Why is my antivirus flagging the anticheat as a trojan?

Your antivirus might see our anticheat as suspicious – and that’s exactly because it works a lot like the software it’s meant to catch.

Look, we understand your concern. When your firewall or antivirus raises an alert, you might think, "What’s this supposed to be, a one-up cheat?" But here’s the reality: a good anticheat must operate at a very low system level to monitor file access and behavior during gameplay. This level of activity is exactly what many security programs associate with malware.

So, what’s really going on?

Our anti-cheat is based on the original 1fx AC source. We use packers and protective measures to obfuscate critical functions—techniques that, yes, are also common in malware. This isn’t about hiding anything malicious; it’s about making sure that cheaters can’t easily reverse engineer our code.

And just to ease your worries: the game runs without administrator rights, so it’s operating in a sandboxed environment. That means even if it acts like a virus to your AV, it doesn’t have the power to do any real harm.

Why does this matter?

Tools like VirusTotal might show that a handful of antivirus vendors flag our anticheat as a trojan or grayware. That’s because our software has to monitor the very files you use during gameplay, much like how viruses hide their true nature.

Forums like Security StackExchange even discuss how all effective anticheat systems need to work at a level where keyloggers and mouseloggers operate—hence why they often trigger alerts.

But is it safe?

Absolutely. Our anticheat is engineered with your security in mind. We don’t use any “bogus” or shady code. Everything is designed to ensure fair play without compromising your system. In short, it might look like a virus because it behaves like one—but that’s exactly what you need to stop cheaters.

Q: What should I do if my antivirus still complains?
A: Simply add our anticheat to your antivirus whitelist. It’s a common practice for software that operates at a low system level.
Q: Why do anticheats need to use these techniques?
A: To effectively prevent cheating, the anticheat must dig deep into system processes—exactly where threats also hide. That’s why our methods, though similar to malware tactics, are essential and safe.

For a deeper look into what happens behind the scenes, consider checking out Microsoft's Process Monitor. It’s a powerful tool that shows you how software interacts with your system.

In summary: Yes, our anticheat may trigger antivirus warnings because it performs complex, low-level tasks to protect your game. But rest assured—it’s all done with your safety and a fair gaming experience as our top priority.
