NOD32 Dummy File Creator Utility is a lightweight and portable application that creates dummy files in a specific location, in an attempt to fend off worms and protect your sensitive files.

Since installation is not a prerequisite, you can drop the executable file somewhere on the hard drive and click it to run.

It is also possible to save NOD32 Dummy File Creator Utility to a USB flash disk or similar storage unit, in order to run it on any machine effortlessly.

An important aspect to take into account is that the Windows registry does not get new entries, and files are not kept on the hard disk after removing the program.

The interface is made from a regular window with a plain and simple layout, where you can view a list of dummy files to be created, specify the output directory, establish the file size and fill string, as well as choose file attributes (archive, hidden, read-only, system).

The application does not put a strain on system resources, since it uses a very low amount of CPU and RAM. It has a good response time and works well, without causing the OS to hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. Unfortunately, NOD32 Dummy File Creator Utility has not been updated for a very long time, and it is not compatible with newer operating systems.
