Bit9 Inc. on Monday announced that its free FileAdvisor, a database for identifying files on Windows PCs, now covers 120 million unique files.
Since its debut in March with 4 terabytes of data and over 250 million records, the database has quadrupled to more than 15 terabytes and 1.2 billion records, said Cambridge, Mass.-based Bit9.
FileAdvisor, which can be accessed via a Web browser or using a downloadable utility, provides information such as the file's history, what products it ships (or shipped) with, and the size of all iterations. The database is typically used to trace unknown or suspicious files.
