and if you want to call that spyware, i sure hope you don't run OBS, because it also enumerates your open windows and grabs the titles (so you can use it to automatically capture a window based on title)

overall it's a simple and low effort way to prevent running the most common cheat applications (or problematic applications). I got a scary message one time when I opened p99 and then realized I had WinDBG running from analyzing a crash dump and I guess it was on their 'no no list'. I closed it and logged on no problem after.

their dll isn't stopping anyone from running cheats that they don't know about - so the main benefit is this keeps you from accidentally logging on and getting permabanned if you left something they don't like running on accident. I consider that a benefit.

if you are really that scared close your porn tabs before you run the game
That is exactly what a cheater wud says. B&
