Spartan AntiCheat & AntiExploit v4.0.8.8

News:

• The Manage-Checks inventory menu now extends its functionality with the Manage-Detections inventory menu. Previously, you could left-click to toggle a check and right-click to toggle its silent mode. Now it is possible to middle-click and access the Manage-Detections inventory menu, which is a quick convenient way of toggling a check's detections.
