While there are pros and cons to each of the above solutions to cheaters in online games, there is one major difference. This major difference is that while the three default anti cheat programs do better or worse with their ban efficiency, only the kernel level access program has cons that reach outside of gameplay and banning. Because the Kernel level access program not only is a new source of high risk vulnerability, but is also able to greatly affect a computer in ways that are not only unintentional, but sometimes unfixable, it is the worst for the client. While its ability to stop cheaters is the best, there are very few people that would trade cheaters for all the data on their computer.
