January 23, 201412 yr The Windows desktop gadgets system has been shown to have serious security issues. I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. Blackrat
January 23, 201412 yr WARNING to all WIN 8-8.1 users. I installed it and it crashed the whole system. Had to reinstall the OS and ALL my programs. Have used it in WIN 7 and there it works and is a useful tool. Jack J Jackson Castalla, Alicante, Spain

January 23, 201412 yr Before you use ANY gadgets on windows please, please read the following Instead of writing Gadgets for what is basically a defunct feature of Windows, the company now invites developers to use HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript to build Metro style apps for Windows 8 Release Preview, the precursor to the new Windows 8 operating system. Uh... no conflict of interest there, nope nope. Microsoft has issued a security advisory urging users to install an update that disables the Sidebar and Gadgets features on Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems due to a potential security vulnerability. Has anyone installed an update that disabled their gadgets? I have no idea, because I turned off updates long ago as every time I got one FSX would start crashing again. I depend on my security software to keep unwanted people out of my computer. It will block Internet access to any program unless I specifically allow it. EDIT: This is from July 2012, a year and a half ago? Looks like this security update was optional. That seems odd. Hook Larry Hookins Oh!

January 23, 201412 yr I've been using the CPU Meter and Network Meter ever since I bought my Windows 7 machine without problems. If you're worried, invest in some good security software. The GPU meter didn't work on my system so I use a different non-gadget program to monitor the GPU. Hook Larry Hookins Oh!
