MD5 (Message-Digest algorithm 5) can be used as a way of checking that a computer file has not been maliciously or accidentally altered. To put it simple, it works like a fingerprint. So, nowadays most of websites includes this information to their software, which looks like this:

Using MD5 checker, we can ensure the integrity of the files. All you need is to copy those published MD5 hashes to clipboard and launch this application. Paste it, and then simply click the browse button to locate the file. The md5 hashes will be compared to the one on the clipboard. The result then will be shown if the file was altered or not.

You could also create hashes for your file.
