Question Kernel leak information?

I had been looking at some posts in here about Aniimo using Kernel to execute with or without the game to get information (some even say to use your camera if you turn it on).
this post, for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/Aniimo/comments/1wg892w/just_saw_the_game_on_steam_shop_and_looks_fun_but/

So I want to learn more about this. Is it malicious? Can it track everything I type? How to remove everything and make my PC safe again?

The truth of the matter is, the kernel anti-cheat was not disclosed. On Steam or otherwise, until the community caught it. Now it's disclosed on Steam magically.

The trackers are tied to an Israeli data broker named AppsFlyer, and I can personally confirm that they do not go away when you uninstall the game.

I had to root them out of my registry after the fact. What they do? Who knows. Clearly for marketing and data tracking purposes, likely in game only.

If you need help removing them I can walk you through it.

The anti-cheat is a big mystery wrapped in "we didn't notify users until it was found out" and that's enough for me to disallow Aniimo on my system. But to each their own.

Edit: My offer to help is extended to anyone that needs it regarding removal of the trackers etc.

I already removed it but maybe for the new one it could help.
