Identify Unknown Software
Bit9 FileAdvisor is the first free search engine for identifying software files on any Windows® computer. Instead of relying on cryptic file names or unpredictable search engine results, Bit9 FileAdvisor makes it easy to identify files and make decisions. It is available free at fileadvisor.bit9.com as a downloadable utility. Bit9 FileAdvisor helps to identify the file information such as:
- Original name and size of the file
- Publisher that created the file
- Products in which the file appears
- Sources of distribution
- File threat indicator
- And more!
Bit9 FileAdvisor leverages a proprietary method of crawling the web, the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) National Software Reference Library (NSRL) Reference Data Set (RDS) -- also known as the NIST Special Database 28 -- as well as the Department of Justice's Hashkeeper database. Never before have these databases and other sources of information been aggregated in such a massive repository and made available to the general public for free.
Bit9 FileAdvisor lets you:
- File identification via a downloadable right-click utility for Windows
- Browse software components by company or product
- Generate the most accurate software search results anywhere on the web
- Understand what's on your computer to make intelligent decisions
