I don’t know if ANY software is safe anymore.
Recently the official download website for popular software CPU-Z and HWMonitor was compromised, and the official download links were redirected to malware. The malicious files were named to impersonate the software. Both the installer and portable versions were compromised. In this video I talk about how it happened, what the malicious versions looked like, and more.

is it okay to install there now?
Was it only the portable version of CPU-Z 2.19 affected? I installed the "cpu-z_2.19-msi-en.exe" version…
Why would I go to a website to download CPU-Z if I likely already have it on my disk as a power user? I would just transfer it from the computer where it is stored to the computer where it is needed. If you run any paid programs, you can't rely on fetching them from the web every time. So freeware can follow the same path.
Ai bots brute force! Here come the “regulations”! Human ID coming where you “need” to verify to stop the hacking bots taking over! – Get it! 😉
Dang that sucks, both for CPUZ and anyone that got screwed by it 🙁
I got MSI- CPU-Z I'm I clear?
Is a lawsuit coming?
They should have learned from the VA. Old software that is virtually unhackable.
cpuz updates are usually for new cpu's being released. If your cpu is a few years old why bother updating cpuz?
I haven’t watched this guy in a long time
This month or last year april?
Does CPU-z automaticly updates itself?
We are all infected since Trudeau and Trump vaccinated us.
should they make system that checks that the uploads are not edited, if edit happens just disable everything automatically
Well luckely i've downloaded cpuz ages ago and never really found a reason to update it
I last downloaded the software in February.
I downloaded it on 25th march or something
this be pushing me to only update software once per year 😆
In updated that shi the 7 april lol, 2 more days and my pc is annihilated
Nah this gut the same guy that convinced me I could turn my ps3 into a ps4, I won't believe a word this guy says
In my Pc, i have gpu-z but not cpu-z
I discovered a strange behavior that seemed to activate a virus. I installed the portable HWMonitor and ran it. While the app was still open, I tried to delete a folder in File Explorer but accidentally deleted the HWMonitor folder itself. Normally, that shouldn’t be possible while the app is running. Right at that moment, Windows Defender detected a virus, which really shocked me. That was my experience.
I always delay updates by a week in windows so i don’t download a faulty version, and i didn’t update these apps for like 3 months. I’m glad i’m doing these things
So if I’ve had this downloaded since 2020 I’m fine right?
its gif not jif
i have cpu-z installed on my pc but i don't use it at all idk why i even have it😂
Those on Auto Update are cooked
Good thing I downloaded it like 8 years ago
This dude told me to download ram
Short answer, yes, i was infected on 2 pcs, and now i know why.
thanks broseph
Thank God, I thought it was Android CPU-Z😂
Thank god I downloaded those years ago
w t f!!!!!
joke's on you, I use CPU-X
i mean theres a dll named "crypto" near the exe file… and people still opened the executable, bruh.
dodged a bullet there unlike a year ago when I had spyware on my pc ive went through hell and its paying off
Normalize not having your entire life on a computer, can't steal anything if all you have is a browser you aren't logged in with 💋
Shit….i literally just updated mine…..🤦🏻
These malicious hacks try to inject a cryptocurrency miner on your computer, to mine off your CPU.
I use CPU-Z a lot, but thankfully I don't always download a new version, so I'm good. Sighs Relief
atleast we know where it came from, they sent the launcher in Russian lmao
Think i'm fine
Aww come on I have norton security defender thing nothing can touch my system!
Question: I recently upgraded both CPU-Z and HWMonitor (and I ran them as well) but I upgraded them via winget (so I didn't download any exe/zip from the official website). Am I safe?
Is it just me or did bro look like my paralysis demon in the thumbnail
So from now on just save everything to an SD card and make copies
My procrastination of updating things only every 6 months is working great so far
oh damn, I downloaded 10 april but thankfully downloaded HWinfo64 and not HWmonitor.
This is why I want to live in an internetless cottage on the beach man. Internet is scary. That’s why I’m on it all day for work then I go home and I’m on it all night 🤩🥳
