Detail

In “Basic” mode you have access to information used to find solutions for common problems in your system. In the “Medium” mode the program displays less used details while in the “Full” mode ESET SysInspector displays all the information needed to solve very specific problems.
Note
The Risk level of an item can be quickly determined by comparing the color of the item with the color on the Risk Level slider.
Item filtering
Item filtering is best used to find suspicious files or registry entries in your system. By adjusting the slider you can filter items by their Risk Level. If the slider is set to the utmost left (Risk Level 1) then all items are displayed. By moving the slider to the right the program filters out all items less risky than current Risk Level and display only items which are more suspicious than the displayed level. With the slider on the utmost right the program displays only known harmful items.
All items belonging in the risk range 6 to 9 can pose security risk. If you are not using any of the ESET security solutions, we recommend that you to scan your system with ESET Online scanner after the program has found any such item. ESET Online scanner is a free service.
