Hi there! If you’ve been following me for the last year you know that I’ve been examining many software publishers that put a digital signature on their downloads. Today I found another publisher called Top Scale (New Media Holdings Ltd.)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

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

It is also possible to check a digital signature by looking at a file’s properties. Here’s a screenshot of the Top Scale (New Media Holdings Ltd.) certificate.<\/p>\n

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

Top Scale is located in Tel Aviv, Israel, according to the certificate.<\/p>\n

What caught my attention was that the download was called GoogleChromeSetup.exe. This might look like an official Google Chrome<\/strong> download, but it is not. If it was an official download, it should have been signed by Google Inc.<\/strong>. Here’s how the authentic Google Chrome<\/strong> looks like when you double click on it. Notice that the “Verified publisher” says “Google Inc”.
\n\"Chrome<\/a><\/p>\n

So, what does the anti-virus programs say about the Top Scale (New Media Holdings Ltd.) file? No problem, I just uploaded the file to VirusTotal<\/a> and it turned out that some of the anti-virus programs detects the Top Scale (New Media Holdings Ltd.) file, with names such as InstallCore.A98, W32.HfsAdware.D59D, PUP.Optional.InstallCore.A and InstallCore (fs).<\/p>\n

Did you also find an Top Scale (New Media Holdings Ltd.)? Do you remember the download link? Please post it in the comments below and I’ll upload it to VirusTotal<\/a> to see if that one is also detected.<\/p>\n

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