So whenever I download and attempt to install Cheat Engine 7.1, my anti virus goes insane blocking it claiming it has malware present in it. I've so far redownloaded it 3 times, and tried 2 different anti-virus and anti-malware programs to scan it. They all go mad claiming it has "FileRepMalware". Something they didn't do to me with any previous versions of Cheat Engine. Could anybody kindly explain to me what this is? Is it anti-virus software being overzealous or something to actually be concerned about?
@Madness "FileRepMalware" is antivirus lingo for "this executable looks suspicious and it doesn't have enough good opinions in our database to make us ignore it". Basically, there are two possibilities:
- Someone (creator or a hacker) created an infected build of the open-source CheatEngine and put that on the page as the official download for version 7.1, and despite it being up for over 1 month now noone noticed
- AVs are overzelous about programs that do things no normal program should (CE does use a driver that makes use of Windows functions that almost no legitimate program should be using).
It's up to you to decide which one you believe in. If paranoia gets you you could try and build it from source yourself.
