The installation caused dataloss as a direct result of virtualization being disabled. I have lost over twelve gigbytes of data, and my entire software development setup has been rendered unusable because of this.

I use Docker, WSL, andoid-studio, and VSCode

Docker cannot function at all without Virtualization

WSL can function, however i was using WSL2, which stores its container data in a `ext4.vmdk` file as wsl2 uses ext4 and not a compatability layer, When Virtualization was automatically disabled without my consent, it caused my computer to purge all of my WSL2 installations

Android-Studio requires virtualization for its Virtual Device feature which makes it so i can test my work without having to risk my personal hardware

VSCode crashes at random and for pretty much no reason at all while badlion is installed (and no, this does not occure, AT ALL which badlion is not installed)

The method in which Badlion installs its anti-cheat service is much like malware, as it is, at its core, a rootkit that makes it so certain processes are unable to run, such as cheat engine. However since it blocks cheat engine and how it works, it also blocks software debugging tools to work. All without informing the user at all about this. If I am wrong in this, please cite sources.

Over all the installer, pardon language for this next line
Can royally F*** OVER any software developer who has moved on from python and pycharm to real editors and more common/stable languages, or someone who just runs docker

What makes it even worse, is that the installer does not keep track of what it has done to the system, so the uninstaller is unable to revert these changes,

While i understand and agree with the WHY the anti-cheat was setup like this, i do not agree with the method in which it was implemented. Especially causing MASSIVE dataloss,
