I've been using CPU-Z for years, and never had any reason to doubt its reports on my hardware.
Today, I went to the Graphics tab and (maybe for the first time ever) clicked the Tools button at the bottom of the screen, and then the "Check for driver updates" item.
That took me to an unsavory-looking site marked NOT SECURE in Chrome, and the site is peddling one of those "free scan" programs that has to be downloaded and run, and then requires payment if any action on the program's findings is desired. There is no pricing available on the one page the site has.
Is there any reason to suspect that CPU-Z is not legitimate? What, me worry? Well, yes, sometimes.
