It examines and identifies all of the hardware.

I have heard of BIOS viruses that cause pemanent damage to the BIOS chip, requiring replacement. i don't know of any way to "scan" for this however. RAM would dump any infection when the power is off during shut down. I don't think any of the other devices are capable of being "infected". > "Mark Adams" wrote: > > > > > > > "Justin" wrote: > > > > > so how do i scan a computer on my lan not just the hd but the WHOLE computer > > > like do i need special av or some other special software > > > > You didn't say what you want to scan for, but if you want to "scan and > > identify" the hardware on your computer, try Belarc Advisor.
