Question related to Kernaim's loader

[Moesdepoes]

While running the exe. file on virustotal it showed up as a potentially harmful file. Is this normal? I'm not sure if i should run this. I bought the activation code for a month.

Cheats are often falsely flagged, they almost always require antivirus to be temporarily disabled, or even uninstalled.

--Kernaim is a rather well-known provider, so if you got the loader from their website then I wouldn't worry about it.

Game hacks are often detected as, or confused with, malware by antivirus software because of the way they interact with system processes, memory, and the operating system itself etc...

They may also use certain forms of obfuscation to make reverse engineering more difficult or to protect the software from unauthorized analysis.
This can sometimes contribute to false positives from antivirus services.

most cheats are false flagged, due to obfuscation usually.

Yes, false positives are fairly common with cheat loaders. They often use obfuscation/packing or other techniques that AV can flag as potentially harmful.

Kernaim is a reputable provider, so a VirusTotal detections alone don't necessarily mean the loader is malicious. Just make sure you are using the official loader from them.

this is applicable to all cheat providers not just kernaim. its a false positive detection. but keep in mind. never use cheats on a pc with sensitive information for you safety and peace of mind
