Summary	0000433: "Security bug" when running as Service.
Description	I think that settings should can be lock behind to keyword pecause somebody who can come to use your computer can also change CPU and memory speed settings and overclock your computer using SpeedFan - and CPU's does not like it... I use SpeedFan as Windows Service with FireDaemon to get HDD temperature values also when i am logged to system without administrator user rights. There we have a security hole: begause SpeedFan UI is running with administrator rights - it can change many critical settings - like that CPU clock. I can deny SpeedFan to use my screen but then i can't read value from taskbar or restart SpeedFan quickly when some component is does not detected correctly. (it happens time to time)
