Automated Checksum Verification: Ensuring File Integrity

Automated Checksum Verification is a free Chrome extension developed by ISPLab @ UNIL. It falls under the category of Browsers and is specifically classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory.

This extension is designed to ensure the integrity of potentially dangerous files. It offers an automated checksum verification feature that alerts users in case of a potential mismatch between the computed checksum from the downloaded file and the checksum(s) available on the website from where the file is being downloaded. By comparing these checksums, users can determine if the file they have downloaded is unaltered and safe to use.

With Automated Checksum Verification, users can have peace of mind knowing that the files they download are authentic and have not been tampered with. This extension adds an extra layer of security to the browsing experience, particularly when dealing with potentially dangerous files.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
