After installation tonnes of prosses of IE and Help.exe pop up in the task manager using up the memory and causing it to crash. I restarted it, uninstalled cheat engine5.3 the restared again and everything was back to normal.

Cheat Engine did not cause that, sorry. Obviously the restart, at the very least, slowed whatever spyware or virus you may have.

I did some searching for ya, and I came up with something...but first...do you run regular spyware/antivirus scans?

That link will tkae you to a page I found detailing a nasty spyware that uses processes called help.exe and is known to open multiple copies of itself on your PC and chew up both bandwidth and memory. Maybe you ought to updaye your spyware and antivirus definitions and do a good scan.

technically if you inject to the right processes, you can make the computer crash

CE dont have any viruses

Sorry for the late reply, been busy. To answer your questions my OS is Windows XP SP2, Yes I run regular spyware and antivirus checks and I downloaded CE from cheatengine.org

Uninstalling CE and restarting your pc, and everything was fine is just a fluke deal. Something else happend and wasnt caused by CE from there.

or as kjmarket sayed it can be a malware or something... some of they are undetected by normal scans
