Actually, you can have a look at FAQ #15 for the details of what exactly is deployed. However, I can assure you that all these files are not stored there for good and are automatically deleted after scanning. Next time they are deployed again.

Probably someone may also consider this incorrect :)

Not all software like this that don't install a service is the best either. I tried the free Spiceworks software and couldn't get it to work on all my computers. Sure it worked on some, but not all. Not even clearapps works on everything, but it works on more than Spiceworks. and spiceworks never installs a service, but then again. Free software is nice, but not if you have trouble with it. I like this clearaps software too! :)

Yeah, we come across nodes that cannot be scanned from time to time as well. And unfortunately in most cases that is related to node's configuration: sharing model, firewall, open ports, WMI config (the most sensitive part), DNS, etc, etc, etc. But we are ready to work on every such case with our clients. Please, let me know the details, and we will definitely help you troubleshoot and stabilize scanning.

So, i looked and it is piaservice.exe.
And you are telling me this is not going to be a problem IF we quit using the software.
Is there a way to get rid of the service and scan the network WITHOUT this service being installed.

From what I see you have to make your computer just about perfect for it to not use that service. I got it to work on a couple PCs without the service, but that's it. I don't see what the problem is. What's wrong with the pia service being installed? WMI Service is a service too and that's installed on all your computers, just by microsoft and not clearapps.

There is nothing wrong with the service. Read my first initial comment.
I don't want that to happen.
I have disabled the service, rebooted and scanned using the agent free method and it works...
So no worries here. I am completely happy with the product !!

Just talked to our devs. You are right, the file is left in the scanned system to prevent repeated deployment the next time when the node needs to be scanned. But the service itself is not active. It's only activated when the scan is re-initiated again.

Thanks for your comments!

I sorry, I guess I didn't read it. Maybe I still don't understand, but that's ok :)

Thanks for finding out for me Jeff...That makes me feel alot better :)

I used other software ,and was able see 3 workstations, including Mac, but have not been able see 3 workstations,using Network Inventory Advisor, says remote computer did not respond?
