Answer:
No, the Fan Check Application is not a virus.
However, there are websites like blogs and fake news articles that claim the application is a virus and recommend that you protect yourself from it. They provide links to what they claim are anti-virus software programs, system registry cleaners, or virus removal tools. The links they provide actually download malware to your computer. This is an example of a hoax causing harm as the rumor might have led a user to a site resulting in a computer becoming infected by malware when it wasn't before.
