Belarc Advisor is a full-featured system information application that gets in touch with your computer and displays a comprehensive report on the software and hardware components in a web-based interface.
At the first glance, many users will be tricked into believing that Belarc Advisor is a tool designed for experts, but the application is actually aimed at beginners and professional users alike.
Sure, it might get a minute or two to understand the information you get on your computer, but it’s all just a matter of time.
Belarc Advisor not only that tells you everything about your computer, but also comes with some extra goodies.
For example, it scans the operating system and displays the installed updates and hotfixes, with a direct link to the official Microsoft page, where you can find support and documentation.
The thing that surprised us during the test was the sheer amount of information on user accounts, telling you not only which are the privileges for every single user, but also the number of times he logged in into Windows.
There’s also a detailed report on the software solutions installed on your computer, showing even the usage of every single entry, along with version and a complete file inventory.
Since it’s just a webpage hosted on your computer, Belarc Advisor will get along pretty well with your hardware resources, so you won’t see much activity unless you reopen the application, as it scans the machine every time it loads.
That being said, Belarc Advisor is of the most advanced and the easiest to use system information tools, and since it helps the user so much, it can’t really get less than five full stars.
