Everything you want to know about your system. Various builds available.
Warning Like other freeware providers there is a Tool Bar that is defaulted to install unless you UNCHECK
the box. It is a separate window that presents the Tool Bar offer and you must UNCHECK the box. I downloaded the full install version where this option was presented during the install process. I do not know about the other builds.
The SIW Standalone (English-Only) is not a valid Windows application.
SIW With Installer first thing I did not like was the pre-checked Crawler Toolbar
It does provide a lot of information but it is scattered over many pages and takes ages to compile the pages that mostly is provided on one page in Belarc Advisor.
I remember trying SIW ages ago and dumping it when I found Belarc Advisor as it provided me the information I needed faster.

Old Version of SIW (Win95) Available from Download page (at bottom)
Oh I love it when this happens. Where is the stinking DOWNLOAD link for SIW? The page lists links for reviews and, of course, a huge honking download button for some other LAN app that I don't want. Why do they do this?
What does that mean? I'm using the standalone version right now without problems.
Same here. I have been using just the program without any need for icons and uninstaller.
After my initial use about a year ago, I realized that this is one of those tools that needs to be safely hidden away somewhere. I do the same with Recuva, Secunia PSI, FileHippo Update Checker, Regedit and some others.
The other users of this PC would be doing things not in the best interest of trouble free computing. davey
Odd problem with SIW current version. I have Sandboxie on my system but not running, even as a service. SIW is warning that it is running. ProcessExplorer says that it is not. Is SIW just seeing it as existing on the system and warning that it could be started?
When you use Sandboxie it starts two seperate processes running. One is "Sandboxie Control", (SbieCtrl.exe) which runs with the Control Window open or minimised to the System Tray.
The other process, SbieSvc.exe, continues running even when you exit the program and close the System Tray icon. It usually runs at only 0.5mb or less, and is no big deal, but if you like you can shut it down with Task Manager. (Ctrl+Alt+Del, End Process).
Could this be the one SIW is seeing, or are neither of these showing up in Task Manager?
