Belarc Advisor

Belarc Advisor is an endpoint hardware and software profiling tool engineered to build an exhaustive personal profile of an installed computer's software inventory, hardware specifications, missing operating system security updates, and antivirus protection status. Widely recognized in the IT and cybersecurity industries for its lightweight footprint and precision, Belarc Advisor inspects the local Windows or macOS system and generates a detailed HTML-formatted audit report displayed directly in the user's default web browser. The tool catalogs complete computer specifications, including motherboard details, CPU model, memory capacity, hard drive SMART health data, network adapter configurations, connected USB storage devices, and installed PCI expansion cards. In addition, Belarc Advisor audits installed software, displaying exact product versions, software license keys, and a comprehensive security patch status analysis that identifies missing Microsoft hotfixes and security vulnerabilities. Belarc Advisor is engineered with user privacy as a core tenet: all hardware and software profile analysis is performed locally on the computer, and audit findings are never transmitted over the internet to Belarc servers. This makes Belarc Advisor an invaluable diagnostic tool for PC maintenance, personal cybersecurity posture assessment, and hardware inventory tracking.
