FREE! PC Discovery Audit Snapshot

When you bought the PCs that you use in your organization, they may have been delivered with Microsoft Windows pre-installed. There may have been a couple of other programs. Before putting the PC on someone's desk, your IS Team probably installed other programs such as a word processor, spreadsheet and email tools.

All of this would be delivered with a number of executable files, images, sounds, fonts and some video files. How many and what they are depends upon what you have installed.

Since you bought the PC and placed it on the desk you know what is on it. You know what software you've got. You have the purchase orders and all the license files.

Don't you?

You don't?

If you don't then you could be lining yourself up for trouble since software vendors will come down hard on you and it could cost you a fortune.

If, as is the case in many organizations, especially the smaller ones, all of your PC users can install software and have Internet access, you could find your PCs with much more on them than you provided. Unlicensed programs, copyrighted fonts, images, sounds and video files.

Pornography.

And much of it could be unlicensed - leaving you open to prosecution for piracy.

For your own protection, you need to know exactly what is installed on your computers.

And this is where the PC Discovery Audit suite of applications comes in.

PC Discovery Audit

PC Discovery Audit is a suite of applications that will audit your PCs for the various file types that might be putting you at risk.

Unlike other PC audit tools PC Discovery Audit does not read the registry Uninstall area to tell you what is on your PCs. Nor does it come with a gigantic database that it uses to look up the applications.

Why?

Because these methods are very unreliable and can produce false positives and negatives.

They might tell you that you have a particular program installed on your computer, when it isn't. A false positive.

Likewise they might not tell you about a program that is on your PC because it isn't in the registry Uninstall area. A false negative.

Either can land you in trouble.

What Does PC Discovery Audit Do?

The PC Discovery Audit tools scan the entire hard drive (or drives) on your PCs and reports back to you on every program, font, video, sound, image or video file it finds.

So you know exactly what is installed.

A typical output:

Not only does it show you how many files, but it also shows you how much disk space is being gobbled up. As you can see, there are nearly as many sound files on the test PC as there are executables and taking up more of the disk space!
