WinMD5Sum
The program is an utility to calculate the MD5 checksum of a file. WinMD5Sum allows you to browse for files, drag and drop files on to box, send and pass files, and then get their MD5 sum. Meant to be 'faster to use' than other MD5 summers.
What is MD5 used for?
One of the most common uses is to make sure that a file that you have downloaded is not corrupt. Some websites post the MD5 checksum of a file on their download page. Once you have downloaded the file, use winMd5Sum to get the MD5 checksum of the file on your computer. Then make sure that the MD5 checksum from the web site is the same. If they are the same, then your file is exactly the same as the file on the website.
