Re: Be Careful With Belarc Advisor Google is NOT Your Friend
Oops.
How does something like the output from a utility application end up getting catalogued on Google? Is this just stupid deployment of a webserver serving up way too much of a filesystem, or is it more subtle than that? |

People post them, that is just crazy. Although, either they are taking them down or this article isn't entirely true. I went through most of the results(there aren't many now) and found only four xp keys. |
