  • Hello everyone We want to personally apologize to everyone for the downtime that we've experienced. We are working to get everything back up as quickly as possible. Due to the issues we've had, your password will need to be reset. Please click the button that says "Forgot Your Password" and change it. We are working to have things back to normal. Emails are fixed and should now send properly. Thank you all for your patience. Thanks, PCHF Management
Running Speccy shows a detailed report of everything that is happening with your PC. Publishing that report as a snapshot is the best way to share the information with others, especially with a tech support person.

As well as showing your complete PC specifications, installed software, and hardware configurations, a report includes personal data like your user name, computer name, external IP address, Windows Serial Number, and connected wireless networks, to name some.

Speccy shows no personal details that can be used against you.

When you Publish a Speccy snapshot, personal information - like the external IP address - is not included.

Extra privacy is achieved by deleting each published snapshot after 30 days, and that each published link has a random URL to enforce only the people you send the link to can see your snapshot.

Data shown in the report is inward facing, just visible by you and devices on your network.
Any outward facing data, like your external IP address, is already publicly available as this is the address you have with your Internet Service Provider, and is removed when published.
