I really hate that company. I have McAfee Total Protection. I complained to them about it and they said I could have them remove the virus for $90. Are you kidding me? It is not a virus and I have used it for years. I cannot restore it from quarantine because it keeps putting it back. I hope there is a solution soon because I am pissed right now. |

there are already two topics about it: https://community.mcafee.com/community/home?view=discussions
so with luck they'll fix it within 998 days
also, it's probably easier to uninstall your anti virus and install a different free one (Who knows what the next file will be that mcafee deletes? hal.dll ? ) _________________

Morons. And just look at the picture above their forum. Those faces make me puke. Hope they didn't want to achieve the impression that those are developers and blonde developer girlies.
If I were You, I would read the EULA and check out what is it saying about "deleting files without Your permission". I can hardly believe it that they have a legal option to deny You the chance of NOT deleting something when You want so.
And just use an AV which can be configured. What a piece of crap which is taking over Your computer. It can make more damage than any virus. _________________

To all of you that have been having the same problem that I have had with McAfee and deleting our CE EXE file then maybe this will work. So far so good for me but let's give it a moment. I downloaded another version from another site which I hated to do but I just wanted to see if it would work . I went here to this site http://www.brothersoft.com/games/cheat-engine-download.html
McAfee let me download it and open it so if it works then it is worth the effort while we wait for McAfee to change their protocols. I sent them a zip copy of the EXE file and their response was not helpful. They are still calling it a virus so I have done all I can do at this point. Hope this helps all of you. Me included. |

honestly, I'd be a lot more concerned about the fact that the one at brothersoft.com isn't deleted.
this means that their exe is different, which most of the time indicates an actual infection _________________

That should be CE 5.6.1 too.
What's the difference? _________________

with luck it's just an older version of ce 5.6.1 that doesn't have a minor bug bugfix I didn't care about making a whole new version for.
But with bad luck it's a version of ce 5.6.1 with a compressed exe (so mcafee wouldn't see it's CE) with a extra something appended to it... (best way to hide a virus from getting detected by the user by the way, compress the exe, attach the virus and add extra padding so it's back to the original size) _________________

I heard that packed exe files (armadillo and themida) are usually flagged as a virus by default, whatever is inside. Don't know about that link. But it may be packed nonetheless. I wouldn't use it for sure. _________________

I just checked. It's version 5.5 instead of 5.6.1 (did have 20 MB of advertisements attached to it though) _________________

Fuckin morons are always trying to make money from someone else's work. I hate them.
At least they should have done a good job and upload the correct version.
Eh, lame bunch of idiots.
EDIT:
If version 5.5 is not detected by AVs, maybe You can recommend it as a final emergency solution for some folks. Just for those who don't even know how to disable/uninstall and AV at all. _________________

If you really want 5.5 then try this url:
http://www.heijnen1.demon.nl/CheatEngine55.exe
(But really guys, learn how to use your computer. Take back the power you've given away and revolt to those that want to scare you and take away your rights to call your computer your own!!
Or at least demand from your boss that they use a different anti virus) _________________

the one from heinen1 still gets deleted by mcafee, at least on my computer.
it wouldn't be as horrible if mcafee was actually configurable, as you and others have said.
but worst part is, it still deletes even after disabling "real-time protection", and doesn't even put the deleted into quarantine while disabled, it goes into... limbo? |

Some McAffee user should really ask the company why are their crap deleting files and why is it not configurable? Maybe there is an option like press "CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+ENTER, kill 3 chickens, sacrafice 5 humans and pray to Quetzalcoatl" or some hidden stupid option.
Really if it cannot be configured, change Your software or DEMAND a configurable interface for Your money. If You have paid for it, they should lick Your boots, not You theirs. Companies are just as strong as their customers are stupid. Sue them, make a chargeback or anything, just do something so they see You are serious.
And if it is still not working, just post everywhere on the net that McAffe has deleted some file from Your computer and You were fired from job because of this and now You are living under a bridge and Your life is in complete ruins because of McAffe.
And You could register a YouTube channel like "McAfferuinedmylife" and post videos with video testimonials from people who's life was ruined by McAffe.
I have plenty of ideas how could You kick back if they dare to ignore You. _________________
