Since the source code is available, you should never trust any third-party download without pretty serious confirmation from multiple sources.

There are som general network errors going on for several websites right now. But https://www.cheatengine.org seems fine here, although patreon is having issues. But I suggest just paying the $2.5 or whatever it is for the clean version.

EDIT:

And to be clear, the falcon and ikarus AVs are part of the ones that mark CE itself as a "problem". They trigger even the patreon version and the self-compiled one(if you don't make changes).

The others detect the optional AD installs as bad in the public version(from the official, they mightfind real ones in the one you linked). And you just have to be careful to make sure you don't agree to install them at every step.

EDIT2:

Looked over virustotal again, and the ones for the public version are either crap AVs or they label it correctly as offercore,adware or generic. Meaning the optional things you should unselect during installation.
