Is there a software to analyse chess games for engine use (cheating)?

I am searching for a software that analyses the moves made in a chess game (.pgn file) for engine use. Any suggestions?

I know of no program that will do this automatically for you, and, for example, give you a report after the analysis is complete, as to whether or not an engine was used.

You can, of course, do this yourself, with any engine and any chess GUI.  You'd have to load the game and step through the game yourself, one move at a time.  You could have the engine list, say, the top three moves for each position.  (PV = 3)  You would then keep track of the number of times one of these top three top moves was played. 

WinBoard, Scid Vs. PC, Arena, Fritz... all of these GUIs will help you do this.  Ideally, of course, you'd also want to use a very strong engine.  (Houdini, Stockfish, Komodo, etc.)

(You can of course, have an engine anaylze the game for you automatically, while you're having lunch or something.  But afterwards you would still have to go back and determine by hand how many of the moves made were one of the engine's top x choices.)
