Developer’s Description

By Active Data Recovery Software

Monitor and alert administrator of hard disk SMART attributes and bad sectors.

Active@ Hard Disk Monitor is a freeware disk utility that monitors the status of your hard drives and scan for bad sectors. The system is based on the Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.). This software monitors hard disk parameters such as Temperature, Head Flying Height and Spin-Up Time and notifies a user when a critical condition occurs. Disk Monitor also displays hard disk information, current S.M.A.R.T. attributes and the overall status of the hard disk's health. Advanced disk scan allows you to detect bad sectors on a disk surface. The software can be launched automatically at Windows startup and monitor the system in the background. An icon in the System Tray can display the temperature for selected HDDs.

Roy WhitethreadFebruary 28, 2011
Pros
I don't know as I was unable to try it. When I installed and then immediately launched the program it said my trial period had expired!
Cons
I don't know as I was unable to try it. You should amend your description of the program as it's not freeware!
Summary
The details on your download link should be changed, as the program is not free.What I find annoying is that I uninstalled an older version, which was free,believing the description you gave the program, i.e.Freeware, and cannot now get the free version I had previously. I emailed the program's publisher,but they did not bother to reply!
not for everyone

Oposite to earlier Version NOT FREE
u-c-bAugust 28, 2010
Pros
Don´t know - did not work anylonger, but previous Version 1.xx was good
Cons
As soon as u update from 1.xx (free) to 2.xx the Programm will not work anylonger unless you pay for it. Especially anoying ist, that you will not be able to go back to the previous version.
Summary
If you run a free Version 1.xx be happy and keep it. It´s a shame, that cnet announces the current version as free. Perhaps it may work (a limitet time?) if you have no previous versions installed, but even a deinstalled previous version kills the version 2.xx
