Anticheat for Q2Pro - should I use it?

[beanz]

Hi all,

There are a lot of threads about this whole anticheat area, but I've not managed to work out if it's worth using.  I downloaded it, but my virus checker sends it off to quarantine.  I'd rather not accept it and would prefer to just carry on playing Tastyspleen & ACME CTF servers.  There appears to be only one server that won't let me connect without it, anyway.  Also, I have no intention of cheating so it's not because of that ... 

Any thoughts?        bean$

Anticheat is not malware. It uses encryption and compression techniques to make it hack-resistant because cheaters would try to circumvent it if the code was open. Anti-malware software considers these techniques to be potential malware. You can safely tell your anti-virus software to allow Anticheat and pull it out of quarantine.

OK thanks for the reply.  It's safe -     One thing though, is it worth using?  Seems most players don't - there are always ' >player< not using anticheat messages when players join.  Just a thought ...   bean$
