That depends on where you got that popup.
If you opened someone's table and he used a svn version of ce to make that table then ce will show a message that there is a new version out if the tableversion in that table is higher than expected (Just ignore that for now)

Does CE still install Open Candy?

When I uninstall CE, is Open Candy also removed?

MSE didn't report anything in the installer, Open Candy seem to have a gotten themselves whitelisted or something.

My crappishly AV just deleted some "virus"/"trojan" and now the speedhack feature crash makes the programs crash open usage :-/

I tried reinstalling CE with no luck. Any suggestions?

Opencandy doesn't install. It just runs and then closes

The speedhack thing, have you restarted your system? If it still doesn't work after that disable your av, reboot, reinstall ce. Then check if it works again.
If it does enable your av but see if you can put in an exception for ce
If it doesn't then your av has completely ruined your computer and i recommend reinstalling windows

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)
So is it a virus even though my antiviruses say it is? Can I download anyway?

PostPosted: Tue May 21, 2013 7:36 am    Post subject: What about Delta Search? Reply with quote

Did you know that Delta Search is malicious adware? I work for an antivirus company and they have been blacklisted. I have been called to fix several machines with this malware on it. Even using their removal steps does not get rid of it. They hide files in the system32 on Windows operating systems so that it always sets your browser homepage to Delta Search. So why defend that your program is not a virus (which is true) then package it with malicious adware? By the way, I have sent a false positive for CE to my team so that our antivirus wont detect it and flag it.

Can you tell me which installer version of cheat engine advertises Delta Search (6/7MB one, or the few KB one ?) so I can tell the advertiser to remove it from rotation(Cheat engine doesn't come packaged with it, just with a downloader and option to choose not to download the advertised app)

Edit: I think I found it and disabled it. But can you confirm that the version advertised with CE also exhibits this behavior ? If so, please inform opencandy.com of this as they tend to have pretty decent rules regarding the programs they allow on their network

Hey Dark Byte,

Thanks for the quick reply. The version I downloaded was 6.2 and it's 6.9MB's. I downloaded it again and ran it and it appears that Delta Search is no longer in the optional install.

I can still inform opencandy if you like.

Thanks

Sure. That it doesn't show is because I disabled it in my configuration but there are other application that make use of their service that may still have it enabled
Also, could be that they made a "special" version for opencandy that does allow proper uninstall (I have no idea, due to my region I don't get that specific offer)

Yeah OK. I'll contact them.

Just do a Google search for Delta Search Malware and you will see the many people that are having issues with these guys. They have clearly stepped over the line and entered 'douchbag' status. Cheers

I know it's been a while, but I just downloaded the CE 6.3 installer and it still shows up with Delta Search ads and tries to automatically install them.
Aside from that, the installer installs CE 6.1, not 6.3, but I'm making a separate post about that.

Ah, this is the small installer(somoto/betterinstaller). I'll contact them as well. And really? 6.1 ? Guess they screwed up the link
