Have you ever forgotten licensing information for a piece of software, or stumbled when you had to call tech. support for an item on you PC? There is a free utility from BeLarc that builds a detailed profile of your installed software and hardware, missing Microsoft hotfixes, anti-virus status, CIS (Center for Internet Security) benchmarks, and displays the results in your Web browser. All of your PC profile information is kept private on your PC and is not sent to any web server.
It’s a simple tool to install. Print the information from the screen, and, just in case you have a system melt-down, you’ll have all the information you need when you take your PC to the doctor.
