Site of the Day for Friday, February 27, 2004 Belarc Advisor - Software of the Month Belarc Advisor v. 6.1 is one of those handy tools for the Windows platform that reveals essential information, on both hardware and software, which is too frequently omitted in off the shelf models. Older computers missing documentation for such critical items as the type of motherboard, brand of hard drive or burner and type of bios, as well as the system serial number, can have such data retrieved by this program. A complete system "audit" is performed by the application, including all operating system updates and a comprehensive list of all installed software, complete with serial numbers where applicable, an absolute requisite for many programs which require a reinstall.
