Why is Requiem flagged as malware? And most Mods/Cheats in general?

[steam8222]

Just a curious question I had. I personally trust Requiem and the other menus to be safe to ones computer but why are they flagged in general? May be a dumb question and I could probably just look it up but I'd thought I'd ask here

1. This is not licensed software (And they are almost always flagged as a virus)
2. Because they work with the game's memory

Also because of heavy obfuscation.

Check it on virus total and you can see what the files are interacting with. Its a memory editor, opens external connections (communication ports for account validation most likely), and most of obfuscation to not get detected as much by SocsTar. The behaviors are really similar to malware out there.
