Excellent system information reporting program
I have used the Belarc Advisor since version 2 (my best recall). I have a non-quenchable thirst for system information. In addition to Belarc, I have more than a dozen similar programs installed on my computer. I use them all because some supply a better description of a selected category than another. Each has a specific use for me. Some of the programs that I have installed provide bench marks as well as system information. The Belarc Advisor provides system information only. Belarc reports hardware details with serial numbers when they exist, information on installed programs complete with product numbers and license information for many of them, a complete list of installed Windows XP and IE7 updates, and more. This program shines by giving detail information in a easy to find and easy to read format. Data is arranged in boarder less chart fashion with subtle changes in fonts including italics. The Belarc Advisor tells the story of what I have on my computer using six pages using high resolution. While this is a lengthy report, I have no trouble finding the specific information that I am looking for. With Belarc Advisor I usually have obtained the information that I am looking for while some of my other programs are still collecting information. One of my programs gives me 19 pages and another 22 pages of information - not including the bench mark results. Overall, I prefer the Belarc Advisor to other system information programs. The complete and accurate results combined with the off-the-shelf price of Belarc can't be beat in the long list of high quality information programs that I have installed on my computer.

Belarc Bug?
According to Belarc's results, I have Norton IS realtime monitor, NOD32 Reatime Monitor - problem is I don't have either installed on my machine. Otherwise its okay.

Belarc Advisor
I found Belarc shortly after purchasing my first computer three years ago, and long before I could actually make use of all the important information it provides. An excellent and intuitive layout makes it easy to navigate through your computer's system. In addition to providing you with all the registered Key codes, it is extremely handy in checking the Microsoft patches and hotfixes when tech newsletters inform you of problems and download links for same.
