The anti-cheats are there to detect the cheats, not necessarily stop them (though they usually do that too, at least the basic ones). When they're detected, they can ban accounts or whatever. They usually do this in waves to prevent cheat developers from knowing exactly when their cheats were detected and what triggered the anti-cheat.
