Currently windows versions 23H2 ( update kb5044285 and beyond ), as well as 24H2 are unsupported. If you are on one of these versions you need to downgrade. Refer to this to check your windows build https://youtu.be/9tN3cf7jx34
As far as i know the cheat shouldn't be modifying game files. And if it does a simple verify game files will suffice. In fact if there were invalid files it wouldn't let you in to the game, but wouldn't ban you probably. Cheats work by modifying programs while they are running (in RAM memory)...
Obviously never ever run it while the ac client is active, and other than that, just in case of file scanning you can keep cheats on a usb or encrypted drive or whatever the heck so that you can unplug it when you run esea, but tbh you might not even need to.
