So I have been reading a couple of computer magazines and it seems like their editors like the program alot. So I decided I should give it a try. I have to say, the program definitely does a fine and good job of auditing your PC. Frankly, I think it does too good of a job. So well in fact that I'm kinda scared to keep the report file the program generated anywhere on my computer in case it falls into the wrong hands. So why was I scared. Well, the report it generated had every software that I have ever installed on my PC. Not only that, it was also good enough to show you all the Keys and Serial numbers associated with the software. It also shows all the hardware that I have on my PC including model numbers and types. So, I would probably not use this program on a normal routine basis. What I would use Belarc Advisor for is to generate a report before I format and reinstall my operating system. I would print out the report and delete the HTML report file it generates so you will have a paper printout to keep handy when installing your OS back. And once the OS is back up, then you have the Serial Keys and the list of programs that you had installed on the previous OS. Now you can see all the programs you need to install to get the PC to where it was before. Of course, this doesn't mean you should install all the program again because some of those may have led you to the problems that you have and caused you to reinstall the OS in the first place.
