   Clearly JCookes has never used the program. Belarc Advisor does not at anytime recommend that you make any changes to your computer/OS ever.

   A friend wanted to buy some extra memory for his computer but did not what kind of memory it used and where the computer was located (large desk against the wall with the computer inside a compartment that was just big enough) would of been a pain to open and examine so I used Belarc Advisor to try and discover. It showed me that the computer only had 512mb which I already knew but that was it :( I had to use SIW to find out if pc2700 sdram 166mhz.
   So I would like to see some improvement on that area. And I recommended my friend buys a new computer lol
   
   Great program though

   DatabaseBen doesn't know what he is talking about.
   
   Belarc Advisor DOESN'T leave memory-resident processes that consume resources.
   
   Obviously by giving out the freeware version, Belarc hope to get people to buy the paid-for version (which has more features). Just like all the other publishers who do exactly the same thing.
   
   Seeing as it is explicity stated that it is free for personal use, that makes it plain that it should not be installed on business PCs. It is the responsibility for businesses to lock down their own PCs so that this (and many other unauthorised) product cannot be installed. Just like how they should lock down their system to prevent unauthorised use of USB keys for example.
   
   The application simply does what it says it's supposed to do. Nothing more, nothing less.

   I hear your ranting but I see no proof.
