|
|
Hello everyone, I'm new. I don't know if this question is appropriate here.
I am on the website: "cheatengine.org"
"CheatEngine70.exe" was downloaded.
But my antivirus "eset" reports a virus.
I used the online multi-engine anti-virus check on the Internet, and many of them turned out to be viruses.

It's ok, you just have to properly read before installing . So instead of "Accept" click on "Decline"
InstallCore/Fusioncore is the advertising app, it's a "Potentially" unwanted program, but as I stated, if you read properly it won't install anything extra
also, most of these AV's are obscure ones, no AVG, Avast, Norton, Avira, only McAfee and Microsoft ., and mcafee has a really weird unrelated name (Artemis) and Microsoft doesn't even scan the files, it just looks at the name (which you'll see down here)
But if you're too afraid, you can always join my patreon which doesn't have the InstallCore advertisement tool at all:

currently only 7:
Code: |
Avira (no cloud): TR/Proxy.Gen8
eGambit : Unsafe.AI_Score_94%:
ESET-NOD32 : A Variant Of Win32/HackTool.CheatEngine.AF Potentially Unsafe
F-Secure : Trojan.TR/Proxy.Gen8
GData :Win32.Riskware.Hacktool.D
Microsoft : PUA:Win32/InstallCore
Rising : [email protected] (RDML:N6AQarBBT727gqoM8vGOAA)
|
I'd say that the Proxy.Gen8 is just a false possitive and Eset and F-Secure use the same heuristics engine
eGambit: Just it's way to say, 'oooh scary'
ESET: 100% correct, it is in fact a variant of HackTool.CheatEngine , it lets you do whetever you want on your system
GData: 100% correct again
Microsoft: And here we have the proof that Microsoft AV DOES NOT scan the contents of the files. Only the name and signature of the person who signed it
Rising : Generic heuristics scan, another word of saying they don't know but looks scary (edits memory)

But, I hit decline on all of them and it still trying to download extra?

In the new installer part of the 'Extra' is the cheat engine application itself
