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?

From the link: "Google will find all the Belarc Advisor Current Profile pages that organizations and people have posted on the internet"

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.
