Next time you install something, rather than click through the installer blindly without reading, you should actually read what you are doing.

Removal of anything that Cheat Engine may also side-install can be done via the control panel while logged in as an Administrator on the system. All the programs that are handled via the installer system are screened for being malicious and can be uninstalled in a normal fashion.

If you are having issues uninstalling, then you either did not install Cheat Engine from the actual site, or you do not have permission to uninstall it to begin with.

So this sounds like you are lying about where you downloaded Cheat Engine from or are just lying about the installer. Cause that is not at all how the installer works.

my guess is that he has an overreactive anti virus installed

he's talking about explosions with the word "opencandy" and "malware". He most likely got these terms from the popups his anti virus showed. (or he has been searching for the term cheat engine and virus, and assumes that must be it...)

as for fixing it not sure.
try https://www.malwarebytes.org/antimalware/
