This simplistic tool offers information about your hardware and system components, but precious little is of real value. Test My Hardware has a simple, functional interface--tabbed for categories (System, Component, About, Exit) with a vertical row of buttons, one for each hardware and system component (Mainboard, CPU, BIOS, and so forth). In our tests, the utility displayed details about each item, such as manufacturer, model number, and capacities, but it performed slowly. Test My Hardware executed no real diagnostic tests that revealed anything about performance issues. This utility is simple to use and may be best-suited for novices; experienced users will want a more robust tool that offers real diagnostics.

Pros
didn't do what I expected, so no Pros.
Cons
didn't test my hardware
Summary
not worth the time
ESET NOD32 blocked this!
Wade2stJune 8, 2011
Pros
Confirmed the awesomeness of my virsus scanner once more.
Cons
Detected potentially unwanted software. Win32/Adware.ErrorRepairPro application
Summary
I will never attempt to try this software for the rest of my life, and don't false positive blast me. If my scanner says it's bad, I have no reason to believe the download. I rate this on the scale of 0-4 stars where 4 is 100% and 0 is 0%. So that's star one around here I guess.
DON'T USE!

Pros
DON'T USE!
Cons
it only shows basic imformation about your computer which you can get from windows based programs. Then it tells you to download the latest version which is a different program which is a spyware confirmed by norton avg and webroot. DON'T USE!
Summary
DON'T USE!
Free, then why are they asking for US$29.95 for it ?
noga54September 6, 2010
Pros
Can't think of any.
Cons
Sorry can't think of anything other than to tell me that I had a lot of problems but don't all scan programs do that.
Summary
May contain Spyware
GeekyDadJanuary 25, 2010
Pros
None - Did not test because of spyware.
Cons
Spyware detected by Symantic antivirus. "Spyware.007Spy" http://securityresponse.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2004-083015-5835-99
Summary
Perhaps the designer of this software shoud talk to Symantic about this.
Basic info about hardware, but didn't "test" anything
ThatGuyDesignsSeptember 24, 2009
Pros
Simple to use.
Cons
Basically click a component like "memory" and get the very basic information about it. I was hoping it would run some sort of test to make sure components were working properly. Given the name "Test My Hardware" you'd assume that's what it did.
Summary
Waste of time, offered no information of value and tested nothing at all, not even a simple test to say "pass" or "fail".
Detail very limmited & crashed on system review
keithrelseyAugust 28, 2009

Pros
in limba romana: nu testeaza nimic
Cons

Summary
COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME
AliceK2July 21, 2008
Pros
Nothing
Cons
I know what hardware I have; why would I want a list of it? Got no test results, nor any indication that anything had even been tested.
Summary
Muy buen auxiliar
qfbmarcosrMay 8, 2008
Pros
Te permite un chequeo de todos tus componentes electronicos.
Cons
Creo que podrÃa mejorar si tambiÃ©n checara la interrrelaciÃ³n entre el hardware y el software del equipo.
