Sentinel - Help
Setup
-And First Time Use Intructions-

Back

First Time Use:

- When you first run Sentinel, you will see this message:

- This full system file scan is required for the Integrity Checker portion of Sentinel, and should be initiated only when you are sure that your computer is Virus or Trojan free (otherwise these infected files may appear to be 'clean' to Sentinel).
- Just click on 'Yes' if you are sure your System is clean; if you are not sure, then open your Virus-scanner, and do full system scan before allowing Sentinel to record the initial CRC32 values of your System files.

CRC32: A CRC32 check will produce a 'digital fingerprint' of any file. Any size files will be reduced to a small code that represents the whole file. If the file changes, it will produce a new finger print. What makes a CRC32 algorythim so great, is that even a tiny change will yeild a completely different digital fingerprint; so if even a space is added to the end of the file, the signatures will not match at all!

Setup:
-First time Sentinel users should use the Setup Wizard to correctly make Sentinel operate optimally for their system.

-The Setup Wizard should be pretty self-explainatory. If you still need help, feel free to contact us at support@runtimeware.com or derek@runtimeware.com
