    The standalone versions worked fine and I wrote glowing detailed reviews of their safety, a couple of minor problems, and possible workarounds. BUT DANGER!!! When I tried to download the InstallIQ installer version, I tried to install it while I was still running secondary scans (download scan in FF w/Comodo == no problem) But either Spybot S&D or Malwarebytes or both reported W3i.IQ5 malware, which I can confirm -- even File Assassin can't remove the original download file, and it threw a NULL filehandle exception, causing FileAsssassin to prompt me to contact them, which I have. I am using various other tools to try to clean all vestiges out. It doesn't exactly follow the pattern defined in the Spybot forum help page, and Spybot does find a freeze.com entry in the registry and cleans it. But I am far from out of the woods yet. If you want to use this program, stay away from the Installer version by all means. It was downloaded from the primary site alcpu.com and appeared to be just another variant of the safe standalone versions, but with an installer. But the InstallIQ installer did more than a bit of evil.

    I have been using this on multiple user and admin accts on both a Win7 Home Premium and a WinXP SP3 machine, the former a Gateway NV54 and the latter a Lenovo T61 Model 6465CTO. Have tried installing a separate copy to execute for each user, and have been having some lockup/false overheats when running multiple copies in XP. No issues, sits in taskbar, pops up and down to compact summary screen, seems to do what I want it to do, and I don't see any adverse effects, (and I do monitor my machine pretty closely -- shields are up, phasers are ready, config tightly controlled and reviewed. I say it is a system file because it needs admin privileges to hook into the status registers of the CPU to get the temp readings and to force, e.g., hibernate, or could sleep, or could ignore and melt, whatever you want within reason. But I find it useful, although I can get the monitor, but not the shutdown control, from, e.g., Speccy or System Explorer, two more tools I like in addition to things like Comoda IS, Spybot S&D, Malwarebytes & SuperAntiSpyware cleanup tools. Speccy has a single combined CPU temp reading, and system explorer really shows you what is what, and automatically checks online to see if files/processes/services are believed good or bad. Use the tool, and if on XP, try running all from a single directory, every users invoking the same process, which then might coordinate the resources between the users. On Win7 try installing CoreTemp at startup, it might have defaulted to working on login, if I remember correctly. But it seems a most righteous and powerful single purpose monitor AND control device for the user seriously concerned about CPU heating,which can and does happen when running heavy loads for an extended period of time.
