"About SIW - System Information for Windows by Gabriel Topala

    The Freeware SIW is a Read-Only / Display-Only System Information tool that gathers detailed information about your system properties and settings.

    SIW is an utility that displays detailed specs for motherboard, BIOS, CPU, devices, memory, video, disk drives, ports, printers, operating system, installed programs, processes, services, serial numbers (CD keys), users, open files, system uptime, network, network shares, as well as real-time monitors for CPU, memory, page file usage and network traffic.

    It displays currently active network connections, passwords hidden behind asterisks, installed codecs, and more.

    A standalone tool that does not require installation."

Just checked this utility for an update via program interface,i.e. HELP>>Check for Update
 

   Current version 1.55 build 597

   Remote version 1.55 build 598

 Decided not to update via program interface, but download separately via download link at http://www3.sympatico.ca/gtopala/about_siw.html

I now have the current build 597 and the new build 598, both of which are dated NOV 23. Cannot see what the difference is between the two builds, but I have both builds stored on my computer.
