well, there is software like Speedfan (http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php) that can regulate the fan speed (not for all hardware)....I don't know if you can fully disable fans too, but even if you can you couldn't really damage the system because you can't override the emergency shutdown at a certain temperature that is set in BIOS..

You're talking about some kind of virus that when it infects someone's computer, it shuts down the fan and causes the processor to overheat? I don't have much knowledge in viruses (except using my anti-virus and what viruses do). And getting rid of the emergency shutdown temperature, I never really bother with anything like that, but, if what I'm reading is correct, it'd be in the bios. And even though it runs under the OS, it might be possible to do it since rootkits run under the OS as well and people have found them (although it might not be the same thing). I apologize if this is just a copy of what was said above. Just trying to help.
