Belarc Advisor identifies the hardware and installed software with license information. On a ten-step scale, it assesses the level of security and indicates the missing and installed security patches. In addition, it makes it easier to access detailed information about them through links to materials about each of them published on Microsoft websites.

A convenient solution is the ability to go directly from the list of installed applications to the directory where it is located. Belarc Advisor uses a web browser, but works with virtually any web browser.
