    Default FileAlyzer gives wrong SHA-1 checksum for some files

    Hi, I have this issue too. Here is more information:

    In my case it's not files over 2 GBs in size that cause the problem. I only today noticed for the first time FileAlyzer giving wrong SHA-1 checksum for a file. The file is ubcd501.iso from http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/download.html and it is 291 MB in size. According to the web site, the SHA-1 is supposed to be 76d87e5f494aeda12d697c9ae62f24eec6eac3ef and other tools like Total Commander and Microsofts Sigcheck give this same SHA-1 checksum when I run them on my comp. But FileAlyzer gives wrong sum, 7FA46F3BB8DA46CC4C43353089584E71CA0E1B03. I don't think this is an issue on my computer, since other programs report correct checksum, must be a FileAlyzer bug. You can download UBCD and check checksums with FileAlyzer and I think you will see FileAlyzer for some reason counts them wrong.

    Thank you anyway for this great tool, I use FileAlyzer lots every day and this is the first bug I have seen.

    I did more research.

    - For an old file 116 MB in size, FileAlyzer gave correct SHA-1 checksum
    - For another file 260 MB in size, FileAlyzer gave wrong SHA-1 checksum
    - For a third file 401 MB in size, FileAlyzer gave wrong SHA-1 checksum

    Something is serious wrong about FileAlyzer SHA-1 checksumming. Sorry for double-post, but couldn't edit my previous one.

    @redfield: which version of FileAlyzer are you using? As far as I remember, this has already been fixed.

    Thanks for reply, PepiMK

    On my laptop I have 1.6.0.4 (i think), and on this computer an old version 1.4. Both have the same problem with the ubcd501.iso SHA-1 calculation

    Which version is this fixed in?

    I haven't unfortunately. I don't normally use beta software. But maybe I can give it a try!

    Default whoops

    I removed my Spybot S&D (advanced mode) sometime ago and can not get it re-activated... I guess, I should uninstall it altogether and start over...?
    Somebody re-assure me...

    My big problem I really need help on is this: Does filealyzer, or anything comparable, search through and find duplicated files that can be eliminated?
    I have virtual memory warnings constantly anymore.
