ExeWatch - new EXE file detector

Submit portable freeware that you find here. It helps if you include information like description, extraction instruction, Unicode support, whether it writes to the registry, and so on.

Thanx for that. 8)

Double-click the tray icon to view the details of the latest detections, if any. A solid and lightweight addition for the security-conscious power user.

      New in 1.30: Added autostart option, JAR file detection, About dialog.

      Compatible with Windows XP and 7, no installation needed, zero configuration, tiny footprint.

[...] Once the file has arrived, Curly calculates and displays its file size, MD5 and SHA2 hashes, perhaps useful if the download page provides them. Best of all, Curly uses the hashes to query VirusTotal and display a summary of its verdict, immediately highlighting any potential malware.

  • Disproving what I assumed previously (definitely not by the same author, the real one is CubaGuy), Curly was renamed Nugget and now has a webpage at http://trax.x10.mx/nugget/ (currently v1.43)...

@Midas - Nugget authorship - Sven Faw vs CubaGuy ?

I suspect CubaGuy is merely one of Sven Faw's various aliases

To wit:

1. On Nugget 1.43 own page http://trax.x10.mx/nugget/ the Contact is indeed listed as :

Code: Select all

cubaguy [plus] labs [at] gmail [dot] com
However,

2. On the site main page http://trax.x10.mx/ Nugget 1.36 is listed with the following copyright :

Code: Select all

(c 2014 Sven Faw, donationware) 
Furthermore,

3. Running the current Nugget without parameters returns :

Code: Select all

nugget 1.43a  - (C) 2014  Sven Faw <cubaguy+hat@gmail.com> - GPG ID: 0xF91975FE
Case dismissed ? ...;-)
