You missed another important bit from that post:

Some of the .dlls will be removed with the game but some will be hidden in your system. You have to manually uninstall them which includes editing the registry. Being there is in fact .exe files left in your system it can run when INCA decides to and it can still scan your system memory and keystrokes.

Not that this diminishes a lot of security concerns though. I'm just highlighting it because some people might jump to thinking that their computers are permanently infected after just one run, which isn't likely to be the case.

That could become a potential risk if a person keeps playing the game anyway and the software ends up being compromised (or used as an attack vector by a third party).

So just stop playing such games if you already have, remove the game and thoroughly clean out the anticheat software, and just avoid such games in the future. That should be sufficient for most people.

Oh, and there is still some possibility that there was at least a little bit of network/system snooping that's been shared to who knows where. A fairly legitimate privacy concern, though I'm not sure how much depth that data collection goes and whether or not most of the concern is during the game's runtime (keystroke-wise in particular).
