FingerPrint

A virus is nothing more than an application that has the built-in purpose of modifying certain features in order to get its dirty deeds accomplished. An antivirus solution might not always be able to detect threats, but there are various solutions to get at least an idea whether or not your system is infected. FingerPrint is a small utility that lets you see if contents of a folder have been modified in any way by analyzing hash so you know if you're safe.

In terms of design, the application is pretty simple and intuitive, getting you up and running in a few minutes. Moreover, at your first run, you are prompted by helpful descriptions before nearly each action you put in motion.

You can create multiple profiles so that the application keeps an eye on more items at a time. The target can either be a directory of your choice or multiple profiles already created. All of them are displayed in the main window along with details such as their type, last check, result, and whether or not they are scheduled.

Creating a new profile is done in a few seconds. Needless to say that you need to select a folder, with the application also checking content of sub-directories if you enable it to. Scan options let you thoroughly, but easily configure what file types to look up by specifying formats, with additional options to check just time and date, or enable a scheduler.

You can manually trigger a scan process for any of the created tasks. Result is instantly provided, with a thorough log file displayed you can choose to save. What's more, thanks to an implemented scheduler, you can set a recurrent scan task so you make sure on a daily basis that important files remain intact.

A few more utilities are put at your disposal for an enhanced experience. With the help of several scanning utilities, you can find duplicated files, hash directories or individual files, or specify what actions to take when double clicking a task.

On an ending note, FingerPrint is a small but powerful utility you can use to check whether or not important files you work with have been accessed, moved, modified or tampered with. Profiles are easy to set up, with the overall process being done in the blink of an eye. What's more, an integrated scheduler and a few additional tools make sure little effort is required on your behalf so you carry on with more important tasks.
