MD5 signatures are 32 hex digit strings derived from (binary) files by a highly specific algorithm. Files that differ only slightly have completely different signatures. Also, it is really extremely unlikely that two different files have the same signatures.

  • be careful, if you accept certain dialogs during install you get payloads of unwanted 3rd party apps (PUP).

Does not require .Net which is good. The bad is the program is poorly designed and although it does what it claims, it is not convenient to use to create checksum text files nor is it that useful for comparing files. It seems to lose its path when comparing files from different locations. Also, the installer wants you to install toolbars and other unnecessary unrelated software, unless you decline several agreements.
