Common problem. If you downloaded it from the official site cheatengine.org or from his patreon, there is no virus in it.
The "free" version from the website only contains some advertisments you should deactivate at installing (which is no problem, just read before you click "next").

There's a thread for these false virus alerts at [Link] - just ignore your AV.

I right click and run the .exe as administrator. so the windows security didn't activate that way for me at least.
