- "Belarc gives you a comprehensive PC analysis - for free"
- Version reviewed: Belarc Advisor 7.2t
Hiring a professional computer-security consultant is out of reach for most home PC users, but Belarc Advisor can fill part of that gap.
The app analyzes a machine's weak points, looking at elements such as whether antivirus software is up to date, or whether all the security flaws in Windows have been patched. It uses the Center for Internet Security (CIS) benchmark test to give the computer a score showing its overall security level, and produces a report that can be viewed in a Web browser.
Not only does it analyze software and operating system components and tell you where problems are, but in its comprehensive report it tells you what your computer's physical components are: not just how much RAM you have, for example, but what kind of RAM and which slots are occupied.
This program doesn't fix the problems itself, but gives clear advice on how to address each issue. This download is free for personal use; we recommend it to home users as a first step in securing their home systems, or for those considering a hardware upgrade who want to see what's in their current system.

Version: Belarc Advisor 7.2t
Pros: Belarc advisor identified my operating system,processor,main circut board,hard drives. The name,model number and serial number of my computer. Also identified the amount of memory I have installed,local drive volumes. My user account,network connections,ip address and other devices.
And identified all installed microsoft hot fixes,software licenses,all installed software that gives the names of installed software. And this symbol * and when I place the mouse on * it gives details, or if I click on * it gives the location of where the software is installed. When I click details on any microsoft hot fix, it opens microsoft help and support, and gives detailed information about the hot fix. And it will let me know if I'am missing any microsoft hot fixes.

"This is a fun tool but better on "XP" then "Vista"."
Pros: It's a fun tool that works great on an "XP" system but it still isn't fully accurate on my "Vista" system. It correctly identified the make, model, processor, bios, operating system, IP address and my CD/DVD and DVD/RW drives. It identified my user account, bus adapters, video card, display, audio and other drivers as well all of my installed software and license codes. This is a pretty nice, easy way of getting a quick look at everything about your computer including hardware, software, updates and patches.
Cons: CIS Benchmark Score is not yet functional with "Vista" and it missed a part of my ram. It told me I have 3070 Megabytes Installed Memory when I actually have 4092. But hey, no other application picks up all of it either. When they get the CIS Benchmark Score fully compatible with "Vista" it will be a 5 star freebie.

Version: Belarc Advisor 7.2t
Pros: This is one of those "can't be without" utilities. Shows every little bit of important information regarding what is on your computer. Particularly important the list of security updates from MS, and exactly what you are missing, if anything. Plus every program installed on your computer and much, much more. Thank you Belarc.
