12.1 Introduction to ESET SysInspector
ESET SysInspector is an application that thoroughly inspects your computer and displays gathered data in a
comprehensive way. Information like installed drivers and applications, network connections or important registry
entries can help you to investigate suspicious system behavior be it due to software or hardware incompatibility or
malware infection.
12.1.1 Starting ESET SysInspector
To start ESET SysInspector simply run the
SysInspector.exe
executable you downloaded from ESET's website. If you
already have one of the ESET security products installed, you can run ESET SysInspector directly from the Start Menu
(Programs > ESET > ... ). Please wait while the application inspects your system which could take up to several minutes
depending on your hardware and data to be gathered.
12.2 User Interface and application usage
For ease of use the Main Window is divided into four major sections – Program Controls (1) located on the top of the
Main Window, the Navigation Window (3) on the left and the Description window (2) on the right in the middle and the
Details Window (4) on the right at the bottom of the Main Window. The section Log Status (5) lists the basic parameters
of a log (filter used, filter type, is the log a result of a comparison etc.).
