WinMHR: Free Malware Detector
Labels:
Freeware Software
WinMHR is a free security tool that provides a similar function as the VirusTotal website but with some additional features, and more to come.
WinMHR is not a replacement for antivirus but it works great in conjunction with one (I’d recommend Avast! for a free antivirus.). The name stands for Windows Malware Hash Registry, which largely describes its functionality. WinMHR will calculate a hash for a file and then check against its database to see if it has identified that file to be related to malware.

The software comes in the form of an 8MB installer and takes up 26MB of RAM while running. WinMHR works on Windows XP SP3, Vista, Windows Server 2008, and Windows 7.
It is completely free with no ads, reminders, or paid versions. You can set it to run when Windows starts or only be on-demand. The advantage of WinMHR is that your files remain private. The hashing is done locally and only the hash is sent across the wire to the Team Cymru servers.
