        The Helldiver 2 game shipped with a kernel level anticheat software, which is proven to be potentially harmful to player’s computers but fairly ineffective against preventing cheating/hacking. The concept behind it is that a program that runs when your computer starts up with the highest level of privileges can see everything that the user is running which could hypothetically help the devs blacklist problematic programs that they’re already aware of.
