THE CHEAT ENGINE THING IS NOT OVER YET (in my eyes)
i got in a sort of trouble with CE.. Please read all mentioned below.
What i Think about Cheat Engine is Simple. If a Software Developer decides to use Adware as a sort of Monetization method to force People leaving a tip on "Patreon" ,(wich Cheat Engine is about to do), just to use a Adware/installer free Version of it, the Ideas of the Programmer/s cannot be 100% trustworthly. Even i used this Software in the past for smaller singleplayer games before my first PC got Broken, but this Business decision is new since version 7.3 if im right.
But the following blew my mind up:
The reason why i decided to buy Bitdefender Yesterday was because i only Downloaded Cheat Engine on the official Site without even using the Cheat Engine Installer directly.(I never Agreed to any Policy or Offer... but) I deleted the Installer immediately after my Research about that Topic with the "Patreon" thing mentioned above (I know false sequence) The thing is i never actually used the .exe File on my PC setup. Windows defender told me after "doubleclicking" the executable that it is evil software, so i removed it right away without ever seeing the installation window, cause i aborted the installation thanks to the hint from windows defender "This is Malware, don't Execute it". But i made a Virus scan after Removing the Installer from the Download folder, and i still get warnings From Windows Defender that there is something evil in my Downloads folder (not from Bitdefender wich is already installed ... Strangely/ i hope it is something like a late attempt from Windows) but it seems suspicious to me.
Since this case happened i have Several CefSharp.BrowserSubprocress/es (32 Bit) exe's running through my Task manager. I'am not able to remove them cause they restart the whole time. and win defender is still flagging something mentioned as PUADIManager:Win32/OfferCore wich i can't see in the Downloads Folder as a "low threat" But my Downloads folder Seems to be Empty.
But the Worst thing that happened to me was that i Lost !!80 Gigabytes!! Space on my Hard Drive Yesterday if im not hallucinating already.
Please dear Bitdefender Programmers... Check this Software in Detail and Ban it once and for all if Possible
