Are folks on here familiar with Belarc?
I plugged it in trying to find my Key as in my thread about a clean instal of W8.1 I couldn't find what I wanted, but jeeeeeepers, this program found out a lot about me.
The fact it could see the serial number of my 24" monitor was not that surprising, nor that it could see the Key to the existing W7 software, but what really got me was the record of my use of USB memory sticks. It even recorded the fact I'd booted in Ubuntu, and when. So that's being recorded without the aid of Windows.
I let it search the net overview on one occasion, and it didn't disappoint. Numbers and times. I'm an open book.
It took 20 mins to read the data it found about my almost empty machine. Unnerving.
