Systems and methods are provided for automatically collecting information from a computer system and sending the collected information across a network to a centralized system. The information can include configuration information that describes the configuration of the computing system, such as the installed software, internal hardware, and attached peripherals. The centralized system is configured to return targeted marketing based on the collected information. Providing the centralized system with automatically collected configuration and other information allows for better targeted marketing.
