Cheat Engine

Why am I forced to install an unwanted third party program to install Cheat Engine? That fucking Safe Finder of yours acted like a damn virus and hijacked my browsers. Please fix this problem. Put an option to skip installing these shit third party programs as you did in previous versions of cheat engine. I would be more than happy to donate to Cheat Engine directly. I am not happy about having unwanted programs and advertising hijacking my computer.

As it is I'm not going to use 6.5.1 Not when I am forced to accept Safe Finder to continue the install.

Cheat engine doesn't force you to install anything.
You need pay more attention as those adware are tricky, you should look always for 'decline' buttons, 'install' check boxes, and skip buttons, they might appear in different locations in the installer, and sometimes also 'blend' (such as setting the color of the text to light gray so it's hard to notice).

Just did a fresh install of cheat engine, and noticed that as soon as I pressed install, declined and skipped all adware installs.

Search before you post. I just noticed your registration date is 2014, 2 years here and you're still as green as they come.

what happens when you click on the checkbox next to advanced? (grey doesn't mean unclickable)

Hello, just signed up because I noticed this same thing during install and, having seen plenty enough 3rd party installs that screw my system, I am concerned about upgrading to the new version.

As Arimai mentioned and posted the image, I stopped on that screen too. There is no decline option on that screen nor on any other leading up to it, and there is no ability to work around the Safe Finder thing (and it even seems to indicate that in the agreement on the first page). When clicking on the Advanced option, it shows a check box that allows me to uncheck it to prevent it from "personalizing" my browser settings, but nowhere does that say that it does not install it. Unfortunately it seems I cannot post a url (due to being a new member) to link an image of the screen in question.

As per aforementioned bad experiences with 3rd party installs, I am not moving forward past this screen. I paid too much money for [i]this[/i] computer to mess it up by taking a chance (I've messed up enough computers in the past because they were cheap and I didn't care).

(All-in-all, I would like to thank the creator of Cheat Engine because it is a nice program to use, and I am happy with using it)

you should be able to upload images (preferably .png )
that way I can move it forward to the advertiser network manager and see what it's about

also, try http://cheatengine.org/download/CheatEngine651NoSetup.rar

The new version has indeed packed with Malware, spotted on second install.

Jeez, just read the post(s) above you.

Although you do deserve some credit for posting in this thread and not opening another one.

They are not bundled, those offers are shown from the internet. Like some dude said above if you unplug your internet, they won't show up or if you block the installer with firewall (who unplugs their internet in this day and age, stupid) it still wont' show those offers.
