Bopup Scanner is a freeware Windows software solution that scans the local area network and provides information on the available computers.

The application can show computer name and user name, MAC address, IP address and HTTP server, while the main window is also being used to show the number of found computers and the active ones, users, HTTP servers count and last update time.

There’s not much to configure about the program because it features a very basic configuration screen, but you’re still allowed to configure the IP range to scan, timeout and network interface.

What’s more, the application allows you to open a connected computer and even save the displayed results to TXT for later analyzing.

There’s no help manual available, but that shouldn’t be too much of a problem because everything’s quite intuitive and, after all, Bopup Scanner isn’t the kind of program aimed at rookies.

On the good side, Bopup Scanner runs on very low resources and doesn’t hamper system performance at all, running smoothly on all Windows versions and without even asking for administrator privileges on Windows 7 workstations.

All things considered, Bopup Scanner does what it says with minimum user input and, if you’re okay with the standard settings, you can initiate a network scan in just a second. The scanning engine is fast and takes just a few seconds, with the results displayed in a very clean and well thought out GUI.
