BioWare - 0.535% Detection Rate *

Did you just find a file that has a digital signature from BioWare? If that's the case, please read on.

You will probably notice BioWare when clicking to run the file. The publisher name shows up as the "Verified publisher" in the UAC dialog as the screengrab shows:

As you can see in the screengrab above, Windows states that "This digital signature is OK". This implies that the file has been published by BioWare and that the file has not been tampered with.

If you click the View Certificate button shown in the screenshot above, you can examine all the details of the certificate, such as when it was issued, who issued the certificate, how long it is valid, and so on. You can also examine the address for BioWare, such as the street name, city and country.

VeriSign Class 3 Code Signing 2004 CA has issued the BioWare certificates. You can also see the details of the issuer by clicking the View Certificate button shown in the screenshot above.
