As a general precaution/safety rule I pass all freeware that I download from the Internet via a ProcMon / Wireshark to see if it's doing any mischief in the background.
So while starting Core Temp.exe I observed that it connects to 192.185.41.230 IP address in the background.
Here's a screenshot from ProcMon:
And here's the screenshot from Wireshark:
Can developers explain what is being sent in the binary form in that transmission?
What is the purpose of it in a utility that is supposed to measure CPU temperature?
And how to disable it?
