If you downloaded cheat engine from any other location than cheatengine.org then yes, it very likely that it has a keylogger. (That's why you only download from this site)

Also, even if you did download it from this site, then what is the reason you think your account is hacked ?
If you mean that you can't log in, there's a completely valid reason for this:
YOU GOT BANNED
(In case you don't know, WoW detects CE and bans people using it)

And if it's really hacked by someone then I recommend retracing steps. How did you find Cheat Engine? Is Cheat engine the first cheat tool you tried or did you use "L33tDude's Mega WoW hacker" first ?
And even then if it's hacked, did he also hack your e-mail? If not, I'm sure WoW has a way of changing the password.

Of course, I still think it's because you're banned for using CE

Congratulations on Your progress! With zero experience about hacking, You start hacking one of the most protected multiplayer online game and You wonder why are You banned. Any multiplayer cheater deserves this.

Besides, if CE would be a keylogger, I guess the evil developer would not hunt for WOW accounts but for valuable information, like Paypal accounts for example. Guess You noticed that nobody has complained about an issue like Yours so far.

It also helps if You change Your password from "123456789" or "qqqqq" "mmmmm" to something more secure.

Even if Your account has been hacked, we are waiting for the proof that will prove that the keylogger was part of the original CE and not from some other program. I am sure You have some proof. Otherwise why would You accuse the developer with stealing without evidence? Especially in an open forum where everyone can see...
Only a stupid guy would do that and I am sure that You are not that kind of guy...
Send us the hard evidence and we will bow down before Your skills in hunting down evil developers.

Stop making Dark Byte seem like shit.

Why the fuck would he want to hack your little WOW account when he can hack your credit card used to buy it instead?

And also the fact that you may have been DUMB enough to fucking get keylogged or trojanned.

And either way, YOUR USING SOMETHING FOR ... FREE!

It's not charging you shit so stop complaining.

There's risks for downloading free software so gtfo.

Absolutely asinine. Everything on World of Warcraft is handled server side. So trying to hack something like gold, agi, str, etc. is futile as nothing will happen. If you wanted to do things like teleportation, speed hack, etc the only way to do that is by editing and/or replace key system files. So to use CE on WoW shows an obvious ignorance of how the game operates. In regards to your "banned", Warden (the controversial antihacking program used by blizzard) still is used. It scans the list of programs currently running on your system. It is almost a 100% certainty that it detected Cheat Engine sent a notification to blizzard and banned you. You lose, good day sir.

On a side note it should be mentioned that CE 5.6.1 downloaded from the cheat engine home page does register as a keylogger by Kaspersky Anti-Virus 9.0.0.736

for the keylogger part I refer to http://forum.cheatengine.org/viewtopic.php?t=24363

Really, every month cheat engine gets named a different kind of virus
Last time it was a dropper, then it was a multiplying virus, and now it's a keylogger again.
I'm actually suspecting game publishers to pay anti virus companies to put cheat engine on the list
