Compare MD5 checksum

To make sure that the downloaded file is the correct Yawcam installation file, you can compare the file's checksum with the checksum published on Yawcam's download page.

1) Open a command prompt

2) Run the following command on the file:
"certutil -hashfile yawcam_install.exe MD5"

3) Compare the MD5 checksum from the command output with the MD5 checksum published on the download page.
Both checksums are marked with a red underline in the example screenshots below.

4) Every version will have a unique checksum.
