Duplicate File Finder .NET 1.1.0.2

Duplicate File Finder .NET 1.1.0.2  is a utility that allows you to find all similar and duplicate files.

All duplicate file finders, removers, or dupe detection programs do almost the same. They take your files, parse them and build reports by grouping analyzed files. Then you explore the resulting list trying to figure out what is going on your PC. Good dupe detection programs can locate identical files using different search criteria: search by names, extensions, creation date, size and content. But only the best dupe detection programs have fast and efficient algorithms for content search. Duplicate File Finder .NET is definitely one of the best. Unlike other dupe detection programs, that can only do the search by CRC/MD5 or byte-by-byte comparison, Duplicate File Finder .NET can use much more efficient algorithms.

It has two groups of algorithms. The first (universal algorithms) group is designated for analyzing both text files (txt, doc, rtf, html, asp, php etc) and binary data (exe, com, jpg, gif, mp3, mpg etc). However, you should be advised and understand that this group of algorithms is most efficient at analyzing binary files. The second group of algorithms must be used for text file analysis only. Therefore, by combining the two groups of algorithms you will enhance the efficiency of your file analysis. 

This tool provides an aid for any novice user or IT savvy professional.

1. Novice User - The program can be used to eliminate duplicates from your computer. Duplicate files are usually a waste and unnecessary. Keeping them is merely a waste of valuable hard disk space. With Duplicate File Finder .NET you can easily keep your files well organized without any risk.
2. IT Professional - The program can be used to determine the percentage of similarity between the pages on your web site. Search Engines are known to penalize websites that contain duplicate or similar content. Your content may be similar to other websites on the Internet, or pages from within your own website could be similar to each other.
