I don’t think that is a widely accepted holistic definition of malware. But even if, AC is not waisting resources. It’s taking the resources it needs to perform its job.

Anticheat isn’t malware. Malware has adverse effects on your system.

AC uses some techniques that some forms of malware also use (but far from all)

I use it for that, too. And it drives me crazy that you cannot sort the list.

It’s really annoying that the only way to reorder is to manually drag items around.
