Every program offered on Major Geeks is checked before it is made available for download.

It's not malware and not anything to worry about. The download page told you the below

Limitations: 30-day trial
The only difference between the shareware and the registerable version is that you can save the settings in the registerable version and you will not see the shareware reminders any longer
Click to expand...

If you don't want to see these "ads" the registry the software and pay for a copy.

Adware is not true malware. It is just adware meaning you may get popup notifications or advertisements which is how many free programs can be offered for free.

CPU COOL has been around - Man at least 15 years and I know the guy who writes it. No way- no how it has a virus. The heuristics are probably looking at what the program does and hitting a false positive (sadly, too common these days)

Here is the virus total report -- however if you have any doubts, don't run it.

He says it good.I got a message last night from him.
