I run virustotal and there are many AVG that reports it as a malware. Desktop Malwarebytes and McAfee programs say the same.


The installer contains OfferCore which contains offers provided by advertisers. It's not malicious in any way whatsoever. The user can completely skip the offers and they will not be installed on the user's PC. As seen in some of the results, it is considered a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program). That doesn't make it malicious.

The lite version also has a third party offer(that you also can decline without any repercusions), it's just a different one. Try the main download, perhaps avira likes that one better

Or try patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cheatengine

I used Cheat engine for years, but suddently windows deleted the exe :

Behavior:Win32/DefenseEvasion.A!ml

file: C:\Program Files\Cheat Engine 7.5\Cheat Engine.exe

file: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Cheat Engine 7.5\Cheat Engine.lnk

file: C:\Users\Chenzen\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar\Cheat Engine.lnk

startup: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Cheat Engine 7.5\Cheat Engine.lnk


never saw this false positive before ..

anything ending with !ML or .AI can be ignored. It's just a detection based on machine learning instead of an actual AV expert marking the file as dangerous

In this case it thinks the launcher that decides which CE version to launch based on your CPU capabilities is some kind of DefenseEvasion

But yes, false positive
