Reports indicate that cheaters need a full Windows reinstall to recover?

Of course it's hard to write sympathetically about cheaters, but this is exactly the sort of nonsense you'd expect from installing a hostile kernel extension.

    It doesn't need a full reinstall. DRA cheat devices are not compatible with Windows when IOMMU protection is enabled. You just have to disable the protection to get the device driver to be able to read data it shouldn't be able to again.

It's a shame that Microsoft allows those companies to just spy on their users in this way.
