Anti-cheat is software made to prevent cheating. In order for it to be effective, you basically have to surrender control of everything in your computer to the Anti-cheat software and just trust that they won't fuck you using that.

Last year for example, an Anti-cheat software got hacked and it installed cheats into player's computers.

No all anti-cheat is something that you need to install. Some anticheat solutions run on the game's servers and analyse player movement to detect common cheats. Those are the ones you don't need to be angry about.
