Calculating the file hash for your downloaded files is a convenient way of verifying if the file posted on the server is the same as the one you downloaded. While algorithms like MD5 and SHA-1 are still widely used, in the near future SHA-3 will be the new standard. Below I will mention a few applications that will help you evaluate the authenticity of your file on Windows. Some will have a console interface while others will have a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for you to conduct recursive checks or to execute the check function from your context menu.
Cyohash is a simple application to assist the end-user in calculating the file hash. You can conveniently check the file hash via the program window or context menu. Another plus is that Cyohash is Open-Source and it also has a very small memory footprint at 587Kb.
