According to Carifred, the developer behind Recent File Seeker, this free software application is meant to help you search for malware and it does that by letting you search for files that have been recently modified, accessed or created. By using Recent File Seeker you’re going to search for files that might have something to do with malware; you’re going to have to specify the search filters, and Recent File Seeker will find files based on those filters.

Recent File Seeker works with 32- as well as 64-bit versions of Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 or 8.1, and Windows 10. This application does not need to be installed. To get it up and running, you will have to download a very small executable and run it.

As you can see from the screenshots and Quick Look video that accompanies this article, Recent File Seeker has a dark interface that lists a whole bunch of search filters and parameters. Using this interface you must tell Recent File Seeker what sort of files you want it to find and where to look. When you’re done, simply hit the Start Scan button and wait for it to complete. The plain text .TXT file that opens once scan completes will present everything that Recent File Seeker found.

Recent File Seeker isn’t accompanied by any Help file. If you need a bit of guidance, the best you’re going to get is the information presented on the official Carifred website.

Recent File Seeker is freeware. If you like it and you’d like to show your support, then you need to know that Carifred accepts donations.

Launch Recent File Seeker, set up the search filters, and let it complete its scan. A plain text .TXT will then open and list all the files that the scan uncovered.

Pros

Recent File Seeker is portable software that doesn’t need to be installed; this application should work just fine with any Windows edition. Dark interfaces are always good looking, and this application has a dark interface. All the search filters are conveniently presented on the aforementioned interface. Recent File Seeker is free software.

Cons

The last time this application received an update was more than two years ago.
