Computer Inspector for Windows

Used Computer Inspector for Windows?

Editors’ Review

Download.com staffOctober 9, 2015

All things considered, this free utility's wealth of PC-maintenance tools makes it a worthy pick for just about all users. Similar to a souped-up version of the Task Manager, Computer Inspector lets you view all running processes on your PC and disable unwanted items. The logically arranged and attractive interface also gives you options for managing browser-helper objects and other Net-related items; uninstalling applications; and managing which programs run on bootup. If Computer Inspector catches a suspicious program, such as a piece of adware, it alerts you by highlighting that entry in red. In our tests, all of the program's tools demonstrated effective performance, and the vast majority of them were a snap to use. Folks seeking a simple way to keep their machine in good condition will find the free Computer Inspector a handy pickup.

Pros
Cons
First it "calls home" and it won't run without letting it. Then I let it through my firewall and up comes a registation with first and last name, email, mailing addresss, and phone # all REQURED fields and it won't let you continue without them being filled in. Did CNET even try this free version??

Notta!

Spyware Doc. alert...harmful website on the makers of this one. Go with "what's running" instead.
Summary
Not any good... WITH EVIL SCARE TACTICS

Pros
Shows some stuff that is running. Woopie so does ctrl alt del
Cons
Doesn't say anything about the programs beside what's in the about. Search google? Yeah, i can do that on my own. And this is the damnable, laughable trait... It displays a fake advertising program called bargins in a folder that doesn't exist and the program sure doesn't. Scare tactics? Yes. But, I'm not afraid. I fear this company will now make a dishonest buck.
Summary
Pro: looks great, easy to use, Contra: low on functions.

Summary
Doesn't do much more than msconfig.exe and taskmgr.exe. But makes it easy. Points out the vulnerability of BHO's (Internet Explorer Browser Helper Objects). Unclear on what basis programs are judged. It found one program (highlighting it in red) suspicious. This program was part of Spybot however.
Does not offer anything useful

Summary
Does not offer anything useful and does not offer it in a very nice or usable manner either. Size of window is not adjustable so a lot of scrolling required. Did not un-install cleanly either.
