Title basically, both apps are being read as trojans by windows defender. Open hardware monitor stopped detecting my CPU temps and fan control is also not detecting multiple fan headers.
What can I do? It looks like a problem with my motherboard maybe?
Thank you for the details. The issue came back today. I simply went to services.msc, stopped and disabled the Intel Software Studio service. Then I told Windows defender to remove the file. Rebooted and came back with a clean scan. The OpenHardwareMonitor.sys file did not come back after reboot.
If I see this again, I'll employ your very detailed instructions. Hopefully I won't see this again.
Joe Gilray - Ding-Ding-Ding! We have a solution! I too noticed that the IntelSoftwareStudioService is still running on my system. I also removed OpenHardwareMonitorLib.sys from my virus scanning exclusion and re-ran the quick scan with the result of "No Threats Detected".
My theory of what happened is a little different however. Yes, when I uninstalled the IntelSoftwareStudio, it may well have rebuilt OpenHardwareMonitorLib.sys without Winring0, but that was irrelevant to Defender as it was still dinging it as a threat until the virus definitions were updated today (Mine updated on 9/7 too) This was a problem that Microsoft Defender made.
Now to see if I can cancel my order with Amazon for the new Lenovo mini PC. (Yeah, I was willing to just replace the hardware for my peace of mind)
I've been running Open Hardware Monitor latest version 0.9.6 for several years. Today after my Windows 10 PC rebooted I noticed some info was no longer being displayed and saw there was a security vulnerability caught by Windows Security/Microsoft Defender: "VulnerableDriver:WinNT/Winring0.G"
As there is no newer version of Open Hardware Monitor and it hasn't been updated since 2020, are there other decent or better options for showing running system stats? Specifically I like that OHM shows my motherboard and CPU versions as well as temps and fan speeds.
EDIT: Seeing the same warning for LibreHardwareMonitor v0.9.4.
I downloaded OpenHardwareMonitor and decided I didn't want to use it, so i was going to try and delete it. However, it won't let me. I doesnt appear in control panel or under windows uninstall settings. I was able to delete all files except the .sys file (can't remember the name since i renamed it). It says it's open in another program. I've tried Unlocked 1.9.2 and that's about it. I'm not sure what to do as i don't know much about this and never had it happen. Maybe it's not a virus and there's a simple workaround? IDK plz help ahha im scared
Looking to find a CPU temp monitor tool for my grandparents Intel pentium g5400 since and adrenaline only supports and hardware, and only shows temps for the wx 4100 I have in it. I know there is a program called cpuz but I'm just looking for something safe and I can put onto it since I'm trying to figure out if the GPUs 85c temp under full load affects the CPU near it. The desktop is a hp slimline that you find at a Walmart as a reference to the desktop if anyone asks why the GPU reaches 85c under full load, HP only made one intake vent on the cover shell, hence the 85c on the wx 4100.
