Can MAC Address Changer ruin my network adapter?

[LukeLovesSecurity]

I came accross NVT's MAC Address Changer, and I'm very excited to see a MAC changer for Windows. However, could this program ruin my network adapter or any other components? If so, how do I reduce the risk of that happening?

As far as i'm aware any Windows program that changes you MAC address is simply writing the change to the registry. The actual MAC address is hard coded into the non-erasable chip on your motherboard or standalone network adapter.

The program has a button that allows you to restore the original MAC address of the selected network adapter:

you should also have your mac wrote somewhere in your product item
