this is funny lol I've been waiting for rage and misc since csgo bro. Some of the features listed in the pre-sale information are also still misc on the menu. All together I am not very impressed unfortunately.
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.
