It is shareware, but you need pay only if you are a commercial organization. Otherwise you are able to register for free. It calculates CRC's using several different algorithms, so any virus that might be able to make a program pass all the CRC checks through character padding, etc. would also make the program not run. --Jeff Hartung-- Disclaimer: My opinions only, etc., etc., BLAH!
