John gave you a explanation already, but this detail can make you understand it better. AutoIt is a
scripting language. Cheatengine (not used here) is a opensource game cheating development ENV.
Both are tools. For some reason certain avir companies chose to flag all tools made with AutoIt,
Cheat engine and others as viruses, which is cheap, since there are few malignent routines written
with them, in comparison with the good and harmless programs which can be found everywhere.
The same goes for certain packers, which make unpacking them difficult. Code is just hidden there,
most of the time, good program code. Yet these avir companies just flag the packers instead
of the real bad virusses.
Lazyness is key there. You will see that open-source antivirus programs never flag packers and
development ENV's as viruses, only the actual ones,
