![]() Once downloaded you can open up the Command Prompt on Windows by clicking in the navigation bar in the file explorer which normally reads like User > Downloads > and typing cmd into it. In its own it is the file that the installer on the CheatEngine site is downloading so this is like the actual installer. So what i did was i used the file that OP is sharing here. ![]() The first two play annoying laughing, the last resizes the windows randomly. Go to \program files\cheat engine 7.5\ or wherever you installed it and delete these 3 files located in the following subfolders: autorun\dlls\dnd.dat This was to prevent 3rd parties from repackaging Cheat Engine, Chinese forums especially are known to do this, but really it just hurts the legitimate users of the product. When the official installer messes up, which happens a lot, or if you use the above method you'll stealthily end up with 3 extra files that the maker of Cheat Engine planted to cause Cheat Engine to do weird things like the laughing described in other comments. I can't say for definite how safe it is though, CE dev obviously has no worries bundling any kind of crap into his app, maybe would be better to switch to some more modern memory edit tools like Squalr instead. Other than those dumb scareware files I haven't seen any mentions of this ad-free installer adding anything else (things like Chocolatey also use the same ad-free installer link to install it too: ). See /u/GamerGateFan's post below for how to remove the files after installing: īesides that it looks like virustotal shows ~5 AVs still detect this as adware, most likely a false positive because of how the installer bundling works. Unlike the 7.3/7.4 versions I posted on reddit before it looks like the 7.5 installer can be ran directly without needing command-line parameters, nice.Į: seems 7.5 added some stupid checks to the installer which will include scareware/creepy laughing in your install, nice to see the $13,000/month patreon donations + ?/month adware funds are going toward such great improvements. This is the official installer that the adware installer downloads, you can check that EXE is legit by opening properties -> digital signatures, should show "Name of signer: Cheat Engine EZ". You can find the ad-free / no-ads setup for 7.5 here: Not sure if anyone will ever see it posted here, but maybe google will pick it up, who knows. Sadly posting this on Cheat Engine sub gets it removed, got to protect the devs $13,000/month patreon (plus who knows how much from the dodgy installer) I guess.
