• DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS IS CRAPWARE!!!

  JeffNAustinJanuary 16, 2015

  Pros

  It gives the basic information of your computers motherboard, graphics, memory, etc.

  Cons

  I am EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THE CNET EDITORS REVIEW OF THIS PRODUCT. They make it sound like it will check your drivers and your bios to see if they are up to date. This is a FLAT OUT LIE. IT DOES NOTHING OF THE SORT. it has links that open your browser for you and take you to a malware page which changes your browser search settings to conduit and tries to get you to install ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE THAT SUPPOSEDLY CHECKS FOR DRIVER UPDATES AND BIOS UPDATES BUT NIETHER OF THESE PROGRAMS WORK AT ALL> THIS IS A TOTAL SHAM AND CNET SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES FOR RATING IT AND THEIR EXPLANATION OF THE SOFTWARE ITSSELF. WHEN YOU ALLOW PROGRAMS LIKE THIS ONE ON YOUR SITE AND YOU PROMOTE IT YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM AND NOT THE SOLUTION I Am SO DISGUSTED BY THIS APP IT HAS LOWERED MY OPINION OF YOUR ENTIRE WEBSITE TO NOTHING BUT TRASH.

  Summary

  This software gives you some very basic information about your computer but at what cost. Well really you should already know this information about your computer..... Do not download this program if you were sucked in by the CNET so called "EDITOR" saying that it will check your drivers and bios for updates because it does nothing of the sort. And It has malware/adware included. That is basically all this program is is one giant silent installer for a much larger problem that I now have to deal with. Thank you so much... No Really Thank you so much you have been so helpful with your Super utility. NOT!

• Good program but needs attention when installing

  katherinegeorgeAugust 25, 2014

  While installing make sure to check off the box which wants to add Conduit to your computer.

• Nothing much

  JAMNeptuneFebruary 23, 2014

  Pros

  It works like it's supposed to be. There really isn't anything else to say. It has a small footprint I suppose.

  Cons

  Very minimalistic. You'll usually understand it more if you're really educated.

  Summary

  There's nothing to it. It's a no-frills program showing your system and hardware information. It does not install any virus or malware. You have the option to disable installing the Conduit search in the CNET Installer.

• This software will silently add conduit virus

  jianzhanJanuary 18, 2014

  Pros

  It works and shows PC information

  Cons

  It is very bad software to silently install www.conduit.search.com into your browsers. When clicking new tab in browser, it re-routes your window to www.conduit.search.com. Please be careful and don't download it, otherwise you will get trouble.

  Summary

  This software includes virus - to install www.conduit.search.com into your browser's settings.

• Great Program! Will recomend to friends.

  boxturtle4December 25, 2013

  Pros

  Small program that provides a lot of good information about your system. I wanted to see information about my system memory and it showe me that and much more.

  Cons

  None. Works as advertised.

  Summary

  Reviewers are complaining about malware and programs when you download this program. Just about every free program tries to add something at installation. You have to be proactive and carefully watch your installations for these programs. Pick "CUSTOM" install and not "RECOMENDED INSTALL" when prompted and you can opt out of the crapware. Hope this helps.

• Avoid this app because the webpage is rigged with junk

  BDan2000December 12, 2013

  Pros

  The app itself is very informative

  Cons

  Unfortunately, the creator has now seen fit to try to sneak in as much junk software during the install as possible. You have to be very careful. I was trying to minimize my browser when I accidentally clicked on one of the ads on the page--my browser was immediately hijacked. Home page was changed, search engine changed, it added an extension. This is ridiculous.

  Summary

  This is what I call a truly dishonest company. Avoid the app.

• It's great!

  Vince53October 13, 2013

  Pros

  It is a simple program that does exactly what it is supposed to do: analyze my CPU. I have installed it successfully on two computers.

  Cons

  It does not actually DO anything. It just provides information.

  Summary

  It has not harmed either one of my computers. It has given me accurate information that I was able to research.
