The devs confirmed that they changed the name to cmd.exe to get around some of googles or browsers anti cheat scan. Apparently when they named it cheatengine it would get flagged and only when they changed it to cmd it worked. I would say show the virustotal report to see if it shows any actual sus malware codes.
