Introducing Device Checker

Keeping track of what's happening on your computer is difficult without the appropriate tools. If you're interested in the technical details surrounding services, USB controllers, sound devices, and other changes, you can turn to Device Checker. It's a simple Windows app that scans your system and generates reports with data to notify you of any modifications.

Key Features:

• Identifies new additions, removals, or modifications


• Packed in an intuitive window that shows all options in plain sight


• Allows collection of system data for comparison with newer snapshots


• Customizable data gathering to exclude unwanted information


• Detailed information about new, deleted, and modified items in reports

Before generating a report, you can select the type of data to gather. By default, all data types are included in the scan, but you can exclude anything you're not interested in, such as CD-ROMs, groups, keyboards, physical discs, SCSI devices, startup programs, and more.

Once the report is generated, you can view detailed information about new, deleted, and modified items as well as switch to the data recorded in the last snapshot to compare it. If you wish to replace the initial snapshot, you just have to hit the "Save" button. Unfortunately, options have not been implemented for exporting old, new, or difference data to file, which would've helped with closer inspection and safekeeping.

System Requirements:

• Operating System: Windows


• Memory: 512MB RAM


• Storage: 50MB available space

Taking everything into account, Device Checker is surprisingly thorough when it comes to the level of detail focused on system reports. It's a fairly new software project that hasn't reached a stable development stage yet, so there's plenty of room for improvements (we're hoping for a file export option).
