Need to create a MD5 checksum on Windows?  Need to make sure that download is safe by checking the MD5 sum it came with?  Not real easy on Windows is it?  Well, now it is!

Here I have a neat little app that I put together for myself, and anyone else that wants it.  It’s called Hash Monster (no, no drugs involved), and it generates MD5 checksums (or hash’s) from entered text or from files.  You can even paste in the checksum to compare to, and Hash Monster will quickly and easilly tell you whether or not they match.  Sometimes it can be a strain determining if they match and now you can let the software do the work.

Hash Monster is complete free.  What does that mean?  Well, it’s free of charge, free of syware, free of viruses, etc.  I don’t put any bad stuff like ad code in my software.  You are free to use this on as many computers as you like, for business or personal use, I don’t care.  I just hope you get some good use out of it and enjoy using it.

If you have any questions or need anything, use the contact form or post a message in the forums and we’ll try to get you fixed up.

If you want to help me out, you can do one of two things (or both even if you are feeling especially generous!).  First, you can go to my notification page and let me know that you are using the software.  You can optionally supply an email address if you want to be notified of updates, but you don’t have to.  This just lets me know that someone is using the software, it helps keep me motivated to keep developing.  The second is that if you find the software useful and would like to show your appreciation by donating a dollar or two, that would really keep me motivated to keep developing.

The software is free, and you can read the entire license below:
