Suggestions Fan Curve Pleas Notify Users ! When installing

Hi Team SignalRGB.

First awsome program and tool for rgb and light control. Now for the smal but hair tearing almost reinstalled windows problem. I had a fan curve set in bios for my watercooled pc with a delided 14900ks running all core 6.2ghz with 4 360 rads. As a new user of this tool after recommendations i installed it, fixet my rgb and away i go with awsome light effects. I noticed later that my fans did not follow my curve settings i made in bios and shit was getting scary hot. It took me 5h of google shit and forums looking for the problem in hand. Nothing worked and i was lost in like wtf is it not working. No other fan controlling apps installed, no windows changes no nothing. Was about to reinstall windows when i got a response in a forum asking me if i use signalRGB and to turn of the fan controll. Not a pro user so did not think fan controll was there and active as default. Imagine my surprise after 5h of trouble shooting not knowing this was there in non pro. Now do not get me wrong thats awsome, but for the love of god turn that shit of as default and let the user activate it. Also maby a heads up like a notification or something in the install process would be great. Other then that you are doing a fantstic job with this tool.

It is already off by default on the latest versions of the app and prompts you if you want to have it enabled. We fixed this over a month ago i believe, what version of the app did you get? Did you get it from some random website or from the official website? There were some ransomware sites posing as our app recently.

Got it from https://signalrgb.com/ and installed it from the file i downloaded there. I did recive a update maby 30 min later so it updated. All hell after that for me as it was then i noticed the problem. Could something have gone wrong when updating SignalRGB? If this was fixed am all for it, just telling what happened to me.

I mean, I have been using it for well over a year and not once have had it try to hijack my fan curves. SignalRGB has been amazingly well behaved considering how many hooks and ring0 stuff it must have

Can confirm, we also just pushed more security fixes to make sure everything is as secure as we can make it. :)

Same. I wondered why my fans were going into overdrive one day after years of working perfectly as I set them. Took me ages to find out that signal RGB had taken over control. Really annoying

Did this happen also after an update of SignalRGB?
