Adanak - 27% Detection Rate *

Did you just run into a download or a file on your computer that has been digitally signed by Adanak? Some of the security products refers to the detected files as Generic.459 and Trojan.Win32.Generic!BT. The detection rate for the Adanak files collected here is 27%. Please read on for more details.

You will typically notice Adanak when running the file. The publisher name shows up as the "Verified publisher" in the UAC dialog as the screencap shows:

You can also view the Adanak certificate with the following steps:

  1. Open Windows Explorer and locate the Adanak file
  2. Right-click the file and select Properties
  3. Click on the Digital Signatures tab
  4. Click on the View Certificate button

Here is a screenshot of a file signed by Adanak:

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

If you click the View Certificate button shown in the screenshot above, you can view 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 see the address for Adanak, such as the street name, city and country.

VeriSign Class 3 Code Signing 2010 CA has issued the Adanak certificates. You can also view the details of the issuer by clicking the View Certificate button shown in the screenshot above.
