I dont know if anyone has said this (and I'm too lazy to check all the pages) but if you cant open the installer and it says "cant find path or directory, (bla bla bla) you might not have permission to access this file", this is what you do (I dont know if this is doable to everyone) :

- make a temporary folder for installing the app
- put the installer on the folder
- go to windows defender settings/ windows security settings
- click on virus and threat protection
- click on virus and threat protection settings
- click on add or remove exclusions
- click on add an exclusion
- click on folder
- select the temporary folder
- now you can open the installer

Yes, we know your crappy AV thinks CE is a virus. No need to tell us.

There are 4 solutions to this problem:
1: Don't install CE
2: Send ce to your av vendor and tell them to remove the detection and wait a few years till they do it...
3: Uninstall your anti virus
4: If your AV supports it: Add ce to the ignore list

and don't worry. I'm working on a solution for next version. I'll bring out 2 versions. The original version, and the 'retarded idiot' version which will have no driver(So No viruzzz! omg!) and lacks a lot of features. So people worried about stuff like that can happily use the 'retarded idiot' version and feel safe in their nice little bubble of fake security (and probably won't be able to do much with it, but hey, it keeps them happy right ?)

And if you're wondering why the driver is detected that is because it uses some of the Zwxxxx functions exported by windows meant to be used by drivers. And it also uses the exported variable KeServiceDescriptorTable. (Also provided by windows to be used by drivers)
Now since anti virus programmers have no idea how to detect a rootkit, they just look at suspicious behaviour. And any driver that uses those functions that are exported by windows is classified as a trojan rootkit.
Thats kinda like saying that everyone carrying a gun is a psychopathic murderer. (while only 85% of them actually is)


I have other technical solutions:

1: Get off your fat ass and stop fapping to ponies you fucking degenerate
2: Re-code the cheat engine without triggering AV i dunno
3: Change your fucking profile from a retarded punchable/killable/biteable face of a pony to Gigachad

Also carrying guns is sacred. You wouldn't understand if you are a castrated Eurofag who will soon live in a Kalergi Caliphate with sandn*ggers and subhumans.

I think I discovered why anti-virus software detects the installer of CE as a virus: Look at the attachment.

all it is saying is Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item. I turned off my anti virus and firewall and everything (btw I use Norton) but its still not working even when I run as administrator it doesn't even give me the message it just doesn't open any ideas on why this is happening.

My antivirus (Kaspersky Internet Security) is warning me that dbk64.sys can be used for malicious intent, googling about it seems some Chinese hacking group can use it.
    link:
    thehackernews /2021/10/chinese-hackers-used-new-rootkit-to-spy

And i'm not sure if i can keep ignoring, whitelist if fine or i should delete the file.
Kasperky's opentip seems to flag it as adware and a risktool (not-a-virus:HEUR:RiskTool.Win32.CEdbk.gen)

it can be used for malicious intent yes.
Just like cheat engine itself.

it's running as admin, and you can use it to execute cheat tables which will then run any arbitrary runtime generated assembler code on your system

if you don't need to use dbk (loading dbvm at runtime, kernelmode memory access, physical memory access to scan processes you can't open, kernelmode debug) you can of course remove it

So, just by having this file installed (or maybe while running Cheat Engine?) someone can access my computer? Or would they need something else? If it's the latter i guess i will just keep ignoring the issue (famous last words).

I only use Cheat Engine to load cheat tables for a few singleplayer games, but i think some of them use scripts, which i feel deleting this file may mess with them.

Someone has to have admin rights and then run cheat engine and load the driver.

Let's assume that when someone has admin rights, it's already game over

But most scripts won't need it, and if it does, it'll show you the dbk32/64 driver failed to load message

Trying to install the latest version and as many people have mentioned, it triggers the virus alert. Which would be all good and fine if it was a false positive for the .exe file or some of the libraries and or dlls, etc. that come with it, however the alert is specific to trojan

...\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Cache\Cache_Data\f_0005eb is infected with Trojan.GenericKD.50216916

This triggers on every download attempt form the site and from gitHub...

just sayin

I'm pretty annoyed with this, aside with it prompting me to install bloatware and then refusing to close after complaining about a virus. I followed instructions to add an exception with Windows Defender but it still refuses to install. This is the error I get:

Code:
Runtime error (at 104:176):

Cannot open file
"C:Users\<name>\AppData\Local\Temp\is-N9B8P.tmp\CheatEngine74.exe".  Operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a virus or potentially unwanted software.
