It would be great to have a Vista Sidebar gadget that displays certain info from SIW.

A version that is bootable from CD or Flash media. I work with repairing computers everyday, and a lot of times I deal with Windows not being able to boot. Using this tool it helps to determine where the problem is and that the problem isn't hardware related. While I do have the stand-alone version on a Windows PE disc, it takes a very long time to boot into Windows PE, just to use SIW.

Is there any way to display the speed of the USB and each connector? I know you can look it up in Device Manager but having SIW do it would be awesome. Too many variables to really find out with certainty.
Thanks

I was thinking that SIW would be improved if it was able to scan computers through domains/ workgroups and obtain all of the hardware information and be able to export to excel/ html.
|
|
|
I love it. I love to put it in every system I use so I can check thinks like what programs are running in the background & all sorts of things. I especially love that I can find out what hardware a PC is using without having to crack it open.

I suggest adding a vendor colummn to siw drivers section
|
|
|
It would be nice to be able to see any changes in the system from one run to the next.
Say I ran the report last month and want to see what changed between then and now.
I.E. a compare app in the SIW Tool

|
|
It would be nice to see the sensor data as rolling graphs also, with min/max limit lines. Maybe have an option to control sensor data polling speed?
|
|
|
tooltip popups (or expanding information option) in the running processes section that display the description from processlibrary.com would be fantastic.
|
|

SIW is one of the best programs around. I don't know how you do it but you really nailed this. I recommend your software to everyone of my customers.
You ROCK!!

In the Windows Home Server (WHS) console can numerous of small add-in be installed. With SIW as an add-in, I could easily get all the info of my WHS/W2k3 machine!

Nothing fancy . . . maybe something as simple as:

There will be good choice for info about
emails on computer and size of mailboxes
of different email clients.Also info about email accounts
for given user.
This is good for improving comuter performances
of computers with large email folders.
So info about emails i think isn't bad idea
beacuse for every system administrator emails and
backups are big problem.
Your program is very useful and great
Thanks a lot

when doing an online upgrade for SIW 2008.12.12 Norton Internet Security 2009 kicked this out and deleted whatever file it associated "MH630.A" with. Attached is the information from Symantec.
Great product and I seldom use it, but it's a great tool when I do need it. Also appreciate that you allow us "single home users" to use for no charge.
Thanks,

TECHNICAL DETAILS
Symantec’s antivirus products contain a highly sensitive detection technology designed to detect entirely new malware threats without traditional signatures. This technology is aimed at detecting malicious software that has been intentionally mutated or morphed by attackers.
If one or more files on your computer have been classified as having a Suspicious.MH690.A threat, this indicates that the files have suspicious characteristics and therefore might contain a new or unknown threat. However, given the sensitive nature of this detection technology, it may occasionally identify non-malicious, legitimate software programs that also share these behavioral characteristics. Therefore, it is recommended that users manually check all files detected as Suspicious.MH690.A by Symantec antivirus products for potential misidentification, and submit any suspect files to Symantec Security Response for further analysis. For instructions on how to do this, read Submit Virus Samples.
In rare cases where a legitimate file has been misidentified and subsequently quarantined, your computer may behave abnormally or you may find that one or more applications no longer function as expected. In such rare situations, you should open the Quarantine in your Symantec antivirus product. From here, you may review the list of all files detected as Suspicious.MH690.A and, if you identify a potential misidentification, restore the file from quarantine and allow it to run normally.
Recommendations
Symantec Security Response encourages all users and administrators to adhere to the following basic security "best practices":
* Use a firewall to block all incoming connections from the Internet to services that should not be publicly available. By default, you should deny all incoming connections and only allow services you explicitly want to offer to the outside world.
* Enforce a password policy. Complex passwords make it difficult to crack password files on compromised computers. This helps to prevent or limit damage when a computer is compromised.
* Ensure that programs and users of the computer use the lowest level of privileges necessary to complete a task. When prompted for a root or UAC password, ensure that the program asking for administration-level access is a legitimate application.
* Disable AutoPlay to prevent the automatic launching of executable files on network and removable drives, and disconnect the drives when not required. If write access is not required, enable read-only mode if the option is available.
* Turn off file sharing if not needed. If file sharing is required, use ACLs and password protection to limit access. Disable anonymous access to shared folders. Grant access only to user accounts with strong passwords to folders that must be shared.
* Turn off and remove unnecessary services. By default, many operating systems install auxiliary services that are not critical. These services are avenues of attack. If they are removed, threats have less avenues of attack.
* If a threat exploits one or more network services, disable, or block access to, those services until a patch is applied.
* Always keep your patch levels up-to-date, especially on computers that host public services and are accessible through the firewall, such as HTTP, FTP, mail, and DNS services.
* Configure your email server to block or remove email that contains file attachments that are commonly used to spread threats, such as .vbs, .bat, .exe, .pif and .scr files.
* Isolate compromised computers quickly to prevent threats from spreading further. Perform a forensic analysis and restore the computers using trusted media.
* Train employees not to open attachments unless they are expecting them. Also, do not execute software that is downloaded from the Internet unless it has been scanned for viruses. Simply visiting a compromised Web site can cause infection if certain browser vulnerabilities are not patched.
* If Bluetooth is not required for mobile devices, it should be turned off. If you require its use, ensure that the device's visibility is set to "Hidden" so that it cannot be scanned by other Bluetooth devices. If device pairing must be used, ensure that all devices are set to "Unauthorized", requiring authorization for each connection request. Do not accept applications that are unsigned or sent from unknown sources.
* For further information on the terms used in this document, please refer to the Security Response glossary.

Help! I cannot download the U3 version of SIW. My Cruzer is looking for a .u3p file and the U3 Version download is siw.exe. Please advise
|
|
|
messages are missing, I can see them in the windows eventviewer, but not in SIW
Source, ID and Time are OK, but the crucial message is missing (some events show the message, but most of them are blank...
BTW I like your program very much!
Greetings Jan Eertink

First of all, thank you for the most complete all-in-one system inspector seen. SIW kicks a..!! :-)
Experimenting with RAM modules where the BIOS supports tweaking the CL settings at 2.0, 2.5 or 3.0, this does not show correctly in SIW. 2.5 is never shown anywhere, even if set as that or if modules support that at specific frequencies.
Perhaps the possible memory timings read from each RAM module is missing this more precise readout.
Is this on part of some OS-subsystem which reports this information and SIW is simply reporting what was told or is SIW rounding the CL values up or down.
Have a nice day...!

Collect specific Exchange / SQL / IIS server configuration information for 2003 / 2008 servers. Would help greatly for disaster recovery scenarios.
