 | File versions |
File versions, displays the various file versions known to us.
In addition, the unique MD5 hash is displayed. The MD5 hash is a kind of fingerprint
of the file.
Take explorer.exe as an example. Both Windows XP and Windows Vista have a file with this name. Yet they are not the same. Otherwise, a window in
Windows XP looks exactly like in Vista.
Versionnumber
This is the version number which is passed to a task. Designers can thus
identify the different versions.

MD5 Hash
This is the digital fingerprint of the file. This allow us to make a proper identification of the file. For example, if a virus masquerading as
explorer.exe than the MD5 hash should be different compared with the original explorer.exe.
Size
The size of the found file in kilobytes.
Risk
Agics calculates a File Threat Ranking of all known files. This ranking is calculated on a few dozen points, including;
- Behaviour on a pc system
- Virusscan results
- Feedback from other users
- Comparability with other files (hazardous and non hazardous).
- Statistic information.
- Known white and black listing.
This results in one of the following five scores:
 Safe
|
The file is almost certainly safe |
 Low risk
|
The file appears to be safe but has some slightly suspicious properties. |
 Suspicious
|

|
 High risk
|
The file is very suspicious.

 Harmful
|
The file is harmful to your system. |
 Unknown
|
This version of the file has not been tested yet. Keep an eye on this page for updates. |
The goal is to provide a good risk analysis involving where so-called "false positives" are largely prevented.
