Hi there! Just wanted to give you the heads up on a file called Skype_Setup.exe that’s digitally signed by Alpha Apps (Fried Cookie Ltd.)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Here how Alpha Apps (Fried Cookie Ltd.) appears in the UAC dialog when running\u00a0Skype_Setup.exe as admin:<\/p>\n

\"Alpha<\/a><\/p>\n

The Alpha Apps (Fried Cookie Ltd.) certificate shows that the publisher is located in Tel-Aviv, Israel.<\/p>\n

\"Alpha<\/a><\/p>\n

What caught my attention was that the download was called Skype_Setup.exe. This might look like an official Skype<\/strong> download, but it is not. If it was an official download, it would be digitally signed by Skype Software Sarl<\/strong>. Here’s how the authentic Skype<\/strong> looks like when you double click on it. Notice that the “Verified publisher” says “Skype Software Sarl”.

The problem with the Alpha Apps (Fried Cookie Ltd.) file is that it is detected by some of the antimalware scanners. Here are some of the detection names: Trojan.InstallCore.39, a variant of Win32\/InstallCore.SX, Unwanted-Program ( 004b2d871 ) and InstallCore (fs).<\/p>\n

Did you also find a Alpha Apps (Fried Cookie Ltd.) file?<\/p>\n

Thanks for reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
