Even if I use a clean GTA SA install with no mods whatsoever it's still possible to inject cheats from outside. Even CLEO can be attached to the process, so it won't use the GTA SA directory at all. It can be done with simple coding experience. Then there are also hacks that do not use CLEO and work by hacking the running process (eg. an .exe that alters memory addresses - even Trainers that were meant for SP are partially working for SAMP).
So to make sure you should not only check the GTA SA folder but also running processes, modified addresses and much more. Otherwise it will be useless. This will maybe keep away people that don't know what they are doing but at the same time annoy those who run legit mods, like graphic mods or ENB.
Another simple method (which proved to work for some other Launcher I don't want to mention here) is running a non-modified game through the launcher and leave it running in the background. Then start a second instance which is modded. Sounds too simple to be working, but it does for bad launchers or "anti cheats".
