HyperElk - Failing all Antivirus Scans

[nightwish2]

Tried using HyperElk recently and noticed that the updater failed AV Scans with the following popular programs:

1. MalwareBytes
2. BitDefender
3. Microsoft Defender

This is basically all the programs I have tested it with. The response on discord has been "it is due to obfuscation" which might be true but doesn't give me much confidence. There is also the issue with the driver that is installed and I'm not sure what driver it is or how it can be removed if needed.

Does anyone know if this program is safe to use from a system security standpoint? Other than that, the bot itself seems to perform well within the game. Not trying to speak bad about the program or anything, just wondering if its safe.

I've used ELK on and off from it's beginning and I have not come into any issues or concerns when it came to security or anything like that.

If it weren't safe, I'm sure there would be multiple posts about security and all that by now.

Hyper-elk ("elk bot"? Wtf was I smoking) is safe (computer security). It's common for unsigned, obfuscated programs to set off many alarms with a few different av's.

They're likely using interception(input driver) like the rest of the pixel bots posted here, a simple Google search should lead you towards the installer/uninstaller. You could probably use their own installer, just launch via command prompt:

cd "folder path" -> enter
"installer name"exe /uninstall -> enter -> reboot pc

The only reason it is not banned is BLZ doesn't care about rotations atm, especially when it has a process running side by side along with an obvious driver.
