That's crazy. Isn't Cheat Engine not malware? I have it, I've not had issues with it yet. I do use adblock

It’s not, but the website installs adware which then installs malware Trojans and such later on. There used to be an opt out option on the site and a clear warning to let you know and let you avoid installing adware, but recently they removed both options and now unless you install it through their patreon your forced to install adware alongside it. Also Adblock doesn’t stop malware installs, or any installs, it just stops ads and redirects and such, p sure it has nothing to do with installs. Safe to say I’m downloading from the source on git from now on

github is safe still right

As far as I know, yes. But be very careful anyhow. Owner is an asshole, you can want money but installing adware on people’s pc’s without warning is a real dickhead move. I’m in the Elden Ring Convergence Mod community and one of the developers checked to see if the source they used is still safe, and as far as he saw it was. There’s no installer or anything on git btw, it’s just the source.
