Is System Scanner - Check Your Computer Specs safe?
System Scanner - Check Your Computer Specs inserts hardware and storage details into system-scanner.net pages.
When a system-scanner.net page loads, the extension reads CPU model and features, total memory, and storage device names and capacities from Chrome system APIs. It writes those values into the active system-scanner.net page and refreshes the storage display about once per second while that page is active.
