'MD5 Tool' is piece of software that will allow you to simply generate the MD5 hash (or signature) of one or more files. All you have to do is to drag and drop the files on the program interface. Forget the Browse button and digging through your hard drive

you should use this piece of software to calculate the MD5 hash of files and compare it with the one provided by that files creator. If the two hashes match then you are sure that nobody has changed the file on its way to you. This means that it does not contain stuff (like viruses) that the creator does not know about.
