i have reinstalled pubg and when i launch it says do you want to make changes and the name is wellbia i have researched a little bit and its kinda like a virus i just press no then error comes up i do it 3 times nad then it lets me in the game. i want to know is it safe to press yes or should i keep pressing no

Yes it is safe, don't worry.

Anti-cheats don't need ring 0 kernel level access to spy something, in case someone is worried about it. So, you either don't play any shooter and use non, or just don't mind it.

It is more a question about security in terms of hackers might use to get more access but tbh, if hackers managed it onto the pc already, it's too late anyway in most cases.

You can't deactivate most important parts of the anti-cheat anyway but if too many press no, they might force it at boot of the system.

All processes will be checked by PUBGcorp but also experienced users.
I always allow all process and I never had any issues.

Anyway, do what you like but you got the answer.

No, anti-virus may detect it as a threat because it operates like a virus due to its attempt to gain ring 0 kernel level access.

That's what malware, virus also do.

The driver is deactivated once you close the game, its inactive but as I said.
If anti-cheat software wants to spy your system, they can do it anyway.

Every software can do it.

It was possible all the time, and there is one known case where a big company did a huge mistake.

EA collected data from their users, but they got caught and blamed.

They could be excluded from the market of the EU, Steam, etc, very unlikely they gonna mess with it. Anti-cheats need the same level of rights as the cheats otherwise they don't stay a chance at all.
