Windows Forum / Windows Me / General Topics / January 2007The Latest 'Belarc Advisor'
Just a reminder that the latest version of the free Belarc Advisor is 7.2h, for those who would like to update. Deletion of the former version will be automatic during installation. Harry. Thanks for the reminder, Harry. I was still on 7.2a and definitions were out of date. Don't use this tool very often, but, it sure is handy when you need it. Update is painless.

Wanna bet? 6.1f on this box (installed 23 Mar 2005) so you can see how often I use Belarc. <vbg> To be honest I'd forgotten I still had it installed!

(snickering to myself....) You are now officially an *antique*.....ROFL!! I found mine hidden in that folder for unused icons. But I ran it and you know what?? It doesn't look any different than our old ones. XX Figgs It just makes it so that it can tell whether you have the latest updates from Microsoft.

And helps out with serial numbers and knowing what I have on here. Have to take this in to Willy on Monday cuz I have messed something up with drivers.......you know how phobic I am about those. And they got me once again, lol. Heather > It just makes it so that it can tell whether you have the latest > updates from Microsoft.

For which I use Microsoft's Baseline Security Analyzer 2 on XP as well as Secunia Inspector. SignatureMike M So do I Mike, well I have it installed and use it occasionally <g> don't know anything about Secunia Inspector though <g> Joan > For which I use Microsoft's Baseline Security Analyzer 2 on XP as > well as Secunia Inspector. > So do I Mike, well I have it installed and use it occasionally <g> > don't know anything about Secunia Inspector though <g> Joan, Secunia Inspector (http://secunia.com/software_inspector/) will also tell you about outdated/vulnerable copies of other software including, for example, Sun Java, Acrobat, Flash, WinAmp, WinZip, Skype & QuickTime, however it only runs on NT based systems such as W2K and XP. SignatureMike M Thanks Mike I will go and take a look when I have a bit more time, it wouldn't be able to tell me about Sun Java as I don't have it on this machine of mine I just have Microsoft VM.<g> Joan >> So do I Mike, well I have it installed and use it occasionally <g> >> don't know anything about Secunia Inspector though <g> > Thanks Mike I will go and take a look when I have a bit more time, it > wouldn't be able to tell me about Sun Java as I don't have it on this > machine of mine I just have Microsoft VM.<g> In which case Joan, you may not be able to use it as I seem to recall it uses Java and may not be able to use the MS Java VM.

That is probably the truth, Mike, as I tried to run it and got an error to the effect that "the Java applet was not able to be loaded" and I don't use Sun either. Marty Hi Joan If you want a copy of Sun Java, ask Harry ... he's got a shedfull!

ROFLMAO - but the question has to be "which Harry?" or should that be "which webster?" :-) SignatureMike >> Hi Joan >> >> If you want a copy of Sun Java, ask Harry ... he's got a shedfull! > > ROFLMAO - but the question has to be "which Harry?" or should that be > "which webster?" :-) Or which Java???

Only the latest version, George, no clutter on this machine!.

I would imagine you have no room for clutter, with all those copies of Sun Java fighting for disc space! :-) George Gee > > Only the latest version, George, no clutter on this machine!. > > > > Harry. > > I would imagine you have no room for clutter, with all those copies > of Sun Java fighting for disc space! :-) Too much amagination, Georgee, I have plenty of room to spare with some *for rent*, should you ever need it. Prices are very reasonable! > George Gee <lol> Don't think I'll bother George <g> at the moment I obviously don't need the Sun version for doing anything with this machine or I would have been nagged to download so I think I'll pass <g> Joan > Hi Joan > > If you want a copy of Sun Java, ask Harry ... he's got a shedfull! > > George Gee Don't know how much of an improvemnt there is over your *older* version, but it's not significant, I believe, Heather. Unless someone with *more* knowledge has a better idea. You probably know whom I am thinking of. I'm always open & greatful for suggestions.

But it is a handy little thing when you need it. I liked how smoothly it removed the old one and then replaced it. Too bad the spyware progs aren't that good. (not sure who you are thinking of, to be honest, lol) HF > Don't know how much of an improvemnt there is over your *older* > version, but [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] >> >> > >> >> > Harry. > Doesn't look much different, Harry.

Myself, I use it more often, just to verify that everything is still 'in order' and 'in place', as desired. My icon is stored in Quick launch. <H> > HF > > Don't know how much of an improvemnt there is over your *older* [quoted text clipped - 39 lines] > >> >> > > >> >> > Harry. I'm not excited about "it" for the simple reason that I don't use Belarc. See my post replying to Heather for the tools I do use.

I did, Mike and it points to a totally different platform, pertaining to users and OS's. Seems that we are both well served with our individual choices. <H>. > > Mike, 'believe it or not', but he doesn't seem to be all that excited > > about it.
