FearLess Cheat Engine

I recently downloaded the newest version from [Link] and after it downloads my checker comes back with:
Detected: PUA:Win32/OfferCore
as a threat the previous still runs fine and does not show this. I have not yet installed it in case the EXE was hacked but just wanted to check here first.

hi all and adm,teah its true...
perhaps the creator of the cheat engine may address this issue..
guys any idea we can update our cheat engine...to ver 7.2...tq

pua is not a virus (it's safe if you can read)

False Positive.


False positives happen when an antivirus program flags a secure piece of software as malware. While some antiviruses raise fewer false positives than others, no antivirus program is 100% immune to false positives.

Antivirus programs have a fairly broad set of criteria for deciding whether or not a file is safe. For instance, some antiviruses may flag third-party password managers because they generate executable files and write registry entries, which is very similar to what rootkits and cryptojackers do.

Some antiviruses may also raise false alarms on devices using third-party network drivers for filtering web traffic. Several virtual private networks (VPNs) offer this feature, and as a result, virus scanners may treat certain VPN programs as suspicious and block them from executing commands.

It's not really a false positive. The thing is that the installer comes with ads, so Cheat Engine can earn revenue through it, and that's pretty much what it does detect, Adware.
