The other day I came across this very useful tool for auditing your PC. Now this product can be very useful for either corporate IT professionals or home users.

Basically, what it does is audit your entire PC and it provides an excellent and easy to read report of all the installed software, hardware, Microsoft patches, hotfixes, Anti-virus information and a whole bunch of other benchmarks.

I used to audit PCs the old fashioned way, but this really makes life much, much easier. You might even be surprised by what you find on your PC. Try it out for yourself, it is completely secure and malware free. No data is transmitted off your machine. This is also 100% free for home users.
