## About VisualCodeGrepper
VCG is an automated code security review tool for C++, C#, VB, PHP, Java and PL/SQL which is intended to drastically speed up the code review process by identifying bad/insecure code. It has a few features that should make it useful. In addition to performing some more complex checks it also has a config file for each language that basically allows you to add any bad functions (or other text) that you want to search for. It attempts to find phrases within comments that can indicate broken code and it provides stats and a pie chart (for the entire codebase and for individual files) showing relative proportions of code, whitespace, comments, 'style comments and bad code.
