There are similar issues dating from September 05. So far, there has been no substantial response from developers. All I have seen is some random Chinese-like accounts gaslighting whoever is reporting this issue. Let's wait and see how it goes

I don't think the devs are going to respond until LibreHardwareMonitor comes out with a stable release using PawnIO, whereupon they'd presumably move on to using that. Folks are working around the issue with nightly builds of LHM.

Cool and thanks for your suggestion on another thread.

I downloaded the latest nightly build from here: https://nightly.link/LibreHardwareMonitor/LibreHardwareMonitor/workflows/master/master/LibreHardwareMonitor.zip and copied LibreHardwareMonitorLib.dll and nothing else. Didn't even install PawnIO and it seems to work. So far no security alerts!

Hey, but the problematic file inside traffic monitor is trafficmonitor.sys and replacing the librehardwaremonitor doesnt fix the problem at least for me.. :(

Have you tried this?

Use this link to download https://nightly.link/LibreHardwareMonitor/LibreHardwareMonitor/workflows/master/master/LibreHardwareMonitor.zip

download the LibreHardwareMonitor item, unzip it, open the LibreHardwareMonitor.exe file, install PawnIO, and copy thefollowing files to the TrafficMonitor folder to use it normally.

LibreHardwareMonitorLib.dll LibreHardwareMonitorLib.pdb LibreHardwareMonitorLib.xml System.Memory.dll System.Numerics.Vectors.dll System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe.dll RAMSPDToolkit-NDD.dll

Hey thanks for your answer. I think the problem on my side is that I was using Temperature monitoring with traffic monitor. When I dont use it, I dont have the problem and because I'm running MSI Afterburner anyway I've just switched to that to show my GPU+CUP temp in the taskbar. The file that was reported was the trafficmonitor.sys and the file I had exchanged in my test was the dll. you had mentioned earlier.

If you look carefully, you'll notice that when TrafficMonitor isn't running, that .sys file doesn't exist. It's created on launch and deleted on exit.

If you follow the full replacement instructions you should be able to get temperature monitoring back in TrafficMonitor without any alerts. I have it working in mine. (I used an earlier nightly build, though; one that doesn't require nearly as many replacement files.)

Installing PawnIO should make temperature monitoring and some GPU monitors work as well. That said, if you weren't actually using those, I imagine it doesn't really matter for you. ;)

Yeah, I only needed this to monitor internet traffic. I use CLI to monitor temps, loads, etc.

This fixed the problem for me, thanks a lot.
