I have got these info after i allowed a site 2 scan 4 privacy leaks of my PC:
CPU type: x86
Screen Width: 1024
Screen Height: 768
Screen Available Width: 1024
Screen Available Height: 738
Screen Color Depth: 32
I wanna ask: why the screen available height(738)is different from the Screen Height (768) ??? coz that means i am not making use of a part of my Screen's height :finger

First: what do you mean by, and why would you let a site "scan" your computer. It probably installed a bunch of adware in the process.
Second: why do you trust the results.
Third: I have never heard of a Screen Available attribute to a display, but my guess that all the Screen Available attributes have to do with the amount of screen space that the browser has available to use for display of the webpage.
