Hello, so I've used Cheat Engine for a number of years now but just recently ran into a issue. My Windows Defender Is detecting Cheat Engine As a Virus. Is this normal for other people as well? Does Cheat Engine have the possibility of installing a Virus or malware, thank you.

As long as you don't install any of the extra crap that comes with the free installer, you're fine

Or join the CE patreon and get the installer without ads:

Okay awesome thank you for the quick response, I don't think I did, but I possibly could have, it might just be the antivirus detecting it threw the installer

Its normal, just don't install the bloatware that comes with CE and you'll be fine, also you may need to temporaly dissable your AV
