Would you please provide a Checksum Hash for each of your download files for security purposes?

Thanks

If a hacker is able to get access to our web site to replace our install files, then he is also able to change the Checksum Hash, so that would only provide a false assumption.

We have our installers code signed, so you should always see a notice which tells you the installer comes from:
Verified Publisher: High-Logic. B.V.

If our installer is compromised, you'll see:
Publisher: Unknown

I've never relied on checksums for security. They can be useful for identifying a download as corrupt or incomplete, but if the file is digitally signed there will be a Digital Signatures tab in the Properties dialog, and you can check there to see if the signature is OK.
