Corel Corporation - 0.117% Detection Rate *

Did you just download a file that is digitally signed by Corel Corporation and wonder if the file is safe? If that's the case, please read on.

You will typically see Corel Corporation when running the file. The publisher name is then displayed as the "Verified publisher" in the UAC dialog as the screenshot shows:

You can also view the Corel Corporation certificate with the following procedure:

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

Here's a screenshot of a file digitally signed by Corel Corporation:

As you can see in the screenshot above, Windows reports that "This digital signature is OK". This means that the file has been published by Corel Corporation and that the file has not been tampered with.

If you click the View Certificate button shown in the screenshot above, you can see 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 Corel Corporation, such as the street name, city and country.

Symantec Class 3 SHA256 Code Signing CA, DigiCert SHA2 Assured ID Code Signing CA, VeriSign Class 3 Code Signing 2004 CA, VeriSign Class 3 Code Signing 2009-2 CA, VeriSign Class 3 Code Signing 2010 CA and UTN-USERFirst-Object has issued the Corel Corporation certificates. You can also see the details of the issuer by clicking the View Certificate button shown in the screencap above.

Corel Corporation Files

The following are the Corel Corporation files I have collected, thanks to the FreeFixer users.

The FreeFixer tool treats files from Corel Corporation as safe, which means that the Corel Corporation files will appear with a green background and that there is no removal checkbox for the file. However, as you can see in the scan results below, a few of the anti-virus scanners detects the Corel Corporation file(s). My guess is that those detections are incorrect and that the files are safe. It's unlikely that Corel Corporation would ship a malware file.

Scanner and Detection Names

Here is the detection names for the Corel Corporation files. I've grouped the detection names by each scanner engine. Thanks to VirusTotal for the scan results.

As mentioned above, I think these detections are false positives since it is very unlikely that Corel Corporation would ship a malware file.
