Are these apps safe from false bans ?

I very excited to play BF6. It has been years since I played any real large scale FPS's. I actually requested the weekend of launch off, the same day I pre-ordered on Steam. 

But quick question as I been hearing a lot of people been falsely banned in the beta and just wondering if certain apps / programs are the cause and if my system is safe with the common app's I use.

Here a list of app's that run on my system.

Fences 4 by Stardock (This is how I organize my Desktop)

Groupy by Stardock (I use this to to group my windows together)

Acronis True Image 2017 (Used to create backup's of Drives)

AVG Anti-Virus Unlimited (Anti-Virus, Malware Protection, Firewall)

AVG Tune Up (a bunch of tools, mostly used to check drives and clean up space and unused programs / broken registry's)

AVG Anti Track (Browser Protection)

Malwarebytes (Stops Malware, and I like the firewall more then AVG's)

1Password (My Password Manager)

 

Will BF6 anti-cheat have any issues flagging any of these apps / programs falsely ? 

Almost feel like buying a new SSD and creating a boot drive just for BF6 with zero app's / programs but that just to much work and cost lol.

    I can't imagine any of those would have a problem, but I doubt EA will confirm/deny what they look for

  • As long as the apps are not interfering with the game files you should be fine.

    Shouldn’t be doing anything with the game files themselves. However groupy does manipulate windows by allowing you to move and group them together. And fences 4 manipulates the desktop environment to create groups for organizing applications and files. These 2 are my concern the most as to getting flagged falsely. I can disable groupy as it’s only really needed when I got multiple folders and applications open for working on projects. Fences 4 could be disabled but it’ll be a complete mess for the desktop.
