Kaspersky doesn't just protect computers and mobile devices; it also offers an additional lineup of products (some free, some not) aimed at identifying the most important issues that could hurt a system's performance. Kaspersky System Checker is part of that lineup, and all it does is diagnose: if there's a problem on your PC, it will let you know.
The Importance of Maintenance
It's said that the price of peace is eternal vigilance, a phrase especially valuable in the world of maintenance. A computer that works well is one that avoids problems before they fully take shape, but as we've said before, it all comes down to behavior. Most users appreciate the value of maintenance once everything has blown up, and that in turn causes the loss of three critical things: time, productivity, and money. Of course, the market offers a wide range of free tools to keep your computer on track. Some are good, and some not so much, so part of the process involves recognizing that difference.
A Diagnostic Tool, Not a Repair Tool
That's how we arrive at the doors of Kaspersky System Checker, an application created by the famous Russian security company. It's free and portable software, whose main task is to identify problems in Windows. Now, it's necessary to emphasize “identify”. Kaspersky System Checker presents the type of error and some details about its potential cause, but it does nothing in terms of repair. The secondary information is supposed to be enough to guide the user in the right direction, however, that doesn't change the fact that we're dealing with a passive tool that doesn't apply any modification to the system.
Who Can Benefit?
So what's the point? Think about those computers that have been limited in some way and can't run advanced tools with administrator privileges. Kaspersky System Checker allows generating a report in HTML format that's easy to distribute or print, intended for whoever is in charge. In short, I don't think Kaspersky System Checker would be of interest to advanced users, unless the plan is to load it onto a USB drive and get diagnoses before doing anything else.
