MTA:SA anti-cheat code
MTA:SA anti-cheat code SD#36
The server does not allow AutoHotkey or a similar automation binary to be running.
How to fix it
Close automation software
Close AutoHotkey or the named program, including anything it left running in the background, then start MTA again.
Read the whole message, then the official page
The number names a detection category, not a program on your computer. MTA's anti-cheat guide lists what each category covers, and the full message is what tells you which case you are in.
Still not fixed? Copy the whole message, not only the code, and check your log in the Fix tool. It is read on your own computer.
About this code
SD codes are special detections a server can switch on. Most of them are about the environment MTA is running in: a virtual machine, a blocked component, or a program that can change how the game runs. MTA's own documentation gives SD#36 as AutoHotkey/binary restriction.
