Re:Guild Wars 2 distributed spyware in order to detect cheaters by Strom on Monday April 16, 2018 @09:14PM (#16854572)
Sure, systems like this have been used at least 15 years by online poker bots. Poker software has some of the strongest anti-cheat systems in the world. The arms race didn't stop there, I know PokerStars moved on to behavior modeling about a decade ago. Now with machine learning being mainstream, mainstream games are starting to do behavior modeling as well. [1][2]

However most games either don't have any anticheats at all, or have very limited ones. Specifically you can run most games under a normal user and run the cheat under an administrator user. Let Windows help hide it.
