About CheckSum

CheckSum calculates a new checksum for a Windows Portable Executable (PE) image. PE is the executable file format used for Windows programs and drivers, and the checksum is one value associated with the file's header. The tool is intended for cases where a PE image's checksum needs to be updated. Windows checks the checksum of a device driver before loading it, so the utility can support workflows that prepare or maintain driver files. It focuses on recalculating this field rather than verifying general file integrity with cryptographic hashes. CheckSum is intended for Windows developers or administrators who work with PE images, particularly device drivers. Its role is to calculate a replacement checksum for a specified executable image.
