How does the Reports -> Software Inventory -> Installed Programs - get that information

How does the Reports section get the information from all the systems? Specifically Software -> Installed Programs. I'm asking this because I have been investigating some malware on company computers...

    Hi Garrett,

    This info is stored in our database and the report is sent whenever software inventory list changes are detected. We query the list of installed applications from the registry which is behind the Add/Remove Programs section.

     

    A fairly recent change was made to collect user specific installs (as opposed to an MSI setup for use with all users on the PC).  This update was made mid-November.
