FileChecker, is a file integrity checker for the Windows operating system.
Features:
- Lets you specify files to watch.
- Notifies (if you want) and logs if changes/modifications/deletions/tampering occur to the files you have selected.
- Runs in the background - can be minimized to the system tray for convenience.
- Is very small, and takes up very little memory.
- Can save your watch list and scan time preferences.
- Can start up minimized to the system tray, and begin watching your files silently.
- Can compute cryptographic hashes of files (checksums).
- Has new installer program that should install extraneous files that were missing on some users' computers.
- Added configurable pop-up notification options (you can select to have pop ups for all detected changes, just for checksums, just for file deletions, combinations of those, etc.)
- Log file format changed to add date and time for events.
- Log file can now be set up to export to a text file (it is recommended you configure the log file to be placed in a directory other than your FileChecker install directory).
- Watch-list is now stored in encrypted format (you can also change your current watch-list to encrypted format with a click of a button).
- Other configuration information (such as location of log file) is stored in ENCRYPTED format.
