Core Temp not working?

That core temp application is not working.

Im posting this not only out of curiousity but also as a warning.

That program when tried to install will tell me this:

C:\Users\HNQ Gaming\Downloads\coretemp_d7632790.exe is not a valid win32 application.

Now that is the curiousity part. What exactly does that line mean?


As far as the danger part. I have microsoft security essentials, avast, and AVG all installed on my computer. When i click to open up that exe file all 3 of them immediatly go off and block it. Calling it some sort of virus.

Any who as far as the win32 not being valid what does that mean exactly? I do have OpenHWMonitor anyways but like I said I am just curious.

EDIT: It looks like it might be saying its not a valid win32 program because all the virus protections are telling my pc to not install it and block it.

Works fine here. You probably got a bad download. Delete it and redownload. There is nothing virus or bad about the software. I already had it installed but just downloaded from the link you put and ran it and it started fine.

Well its not the download. I have downloaded it twice already. Im definetly thinking its because all of my virus programs tag it as malware and so they immediatly stop it from installing.

I tried from the main download and Avast said it had a virus. I went to the 64bit version from "more downloads" and it worked fine. I'll send them an email to make sure they know what we are talking about.
