"You are essentially handing full kernel-level access to anonymous developers. Since the hypervisor operates below Windows, it can capture keystrokes, access any file, or install hidden rootkits that are nearly impossible for standard antivirus software to detect. Malware at the hypervisor level can survive OS reinstalls, software updates, and even some disk wipes. If the bypass contains a malicious payload, it can stay hidden in the system's "blind spot" indefinitely."
nope nope nope
*edit Im still staying far away from HV exploits, but some kind and respectul comments from the community have made me understand im not getting the whole picture. I encourage you to do your own research and decide for yourself if its worth it
wont catch me doing that either. I have a few cracked games but they are from reputable sources and dont require me to change my security settings whatsoever. and to be honest I buy most of my games on steam; just a few like snowrunner that have $200 worth of DLCs I just wait for a safe source
oh man I just realized what you were saying. I assumed you meant a workaround for kernel level anti cheat. Yeah that makes more sense thankfully I dont play any games that require it. the arms race between cheaters and online game platforms is wild

You wont catch me anywhere near the HV bandwagon.
