The site/PDF mentions using Cheat Engine... how do you even download an adware-/malware-free version of that nowadays besides setting up a recurring Patreon donation? I tried building it from scratch, but the compilation process fails when following the guide line by line. I've since switched to Squalr, which is not as good, but at least it doesn't try to trick me into installing adware/malware.
- ajsmitty 5y agoYou can get adware/malware -free versions from github: https://github.com/cheat-engine/cheat-engine https://github.com/cheat-engine/cheat-engine The installer on their website has been pushing bad-ware for a while now unfortunately.
- jimbob45 5y agoShove it in a container/VM, right? That way it doesn't really matter if it turns out to be an infected version.
- Rzor 5y agoWell, Guest-to-Host escape is a thing, so I wouldn't bet on that with that much confidence, but that's definitely the alternative.

- baal80spam 5y ago> how do you even download an adware-/malware-free version of that nowadays What's wrong with the official version? I've used it for several years now. Am I missing something?
- brobinson 5y agoAre you using the installer that installs adware/malware, or are you subscribing to the author's Patreon to get the plain binaries? I wish the author would just let you buy a one-time license for it.
- mrguyorama 5y agoYou can "opt out" of all the badware in the installer as far as I can tell
