Editor's review of Belarc Advisor
5.0 stars
- "Belarc gives you a comprehensive PC analysis - for free"
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 7.2.24.6
"A good summary of contents in your PC."
Pros: It provides a useful 1 page summary of programmes currently installed & also tells you if your Microsoft is up to date. A good freebie.

Version: Belarc Advisor 7.2.24.6
Pros: I would probably get much more out of it if I would just go into help and learn more about it. I just don't like learning curves so I use what I can on it.

Version: Belarc Advisor 7.2.24.6
"Outstanding! A complete review of everything on your PC."
Pros: The fact that nothing is left out. Every piece of information related to your PC and EVERYTHING installed on it is available for review. Makes it nice for retrieving a copy of ALL licensing information.

Version: Belarc Advisor 7.2.24.6
Pros: Best System advisor I have found.
Cons: The Vista version does not yet provide a Secuity Assessment. I hope it will be added in a later update.
