Belarc Advisor

I've just used this little programme to scan my machine. Curiosity value only as it's working fine. It reports everything correctly except for the security section where it reports that I have Avira AntiVir PersonalEdition Version 7.0.3.31 and Kaspersky Anti-Virus Version 7.0.0.125 both with "Realtime File Scanning On"

Strange thing is that I run Norton Internet Security 2009. I have never had either Avira or Kaspersky, on any machine, ever, since I started in computers some 30 years ago. I've searched the registry for anything on both names but nothing shows.

If anyone else has Belarc advisor, please run it when you get the odd few minutes free, and see what it reports.

What do you have in your services list? Sometimes these system info scanners report it "active" if they see it in the list at all I guess. I just ran SIW and it tells me there's an active security service running but it's actually set as disabled.

No, there is no mention of these two security programmes anywhere on this computer. Even stranger is the fact Norton, which is happily working away, doesn't get reported at all :confused:

Belarc Advisor has always had a few mis-readings of what it reports. A lot of the programs you will have installed that it shows in it's report will have incorrect version numbers and the likes. It is useful to a point, but has correct identification failings. It still needs a lot of work IMO.

Some other useful similar apps:

Thanks for that Airbot. I'll look into what it is reporting about other software installed tomorrow night and report back on what I find.
