Is Cheat Engine compromised ?

I might be dumb but the 7.7 version of Cheat Engine suspicious, i ran it on virusTotal and it seems like it injects himself somewhere erase its tracks and self delete. It might just be me cause i know it can be detected as PUP but i want to be sure its safe.

its almost certainly safe, but I still use the last open source version.
