Subject: RE: Tech: I'm using XP Pro and
A google for "Sandra.Lite" finds a whole bunch of download sites, but very little description. The first 3 sites I tried to connect to were blocked by my IE7 as "unsafe sites." I did not attempt to override at those sites.
One cnet site reprints the maker's description, which tells me very little about what the the program is intended to do; but does not describe anything "neat, keen, super" or "useful" that WinXP users can't do simply by clicking Start|Programs|Accessories|System Accessories|System Information.
One other site warned that "downloading this version will disable your product activation" - which means you will be unable to get updates to your Windows and Office programs. Whether you can uninstall the program and renew the activation is not indicated.
The same site claimed that "we have scanned your system to determine the correct version to download" but iff it did so it did it without asking for my permisssion. Even Microsoft doesn't do that, and it is considered a "spyware/malware indicator" by most of the antimalware people.
So just out of curiosity: WHY did you think you needed to download it?
