Did you just find a download or a file on your computer that has been digitally signed by File.org? Some of the security products refers to the detected files as Install Core Click run software and Unwanted-Program ( 00454f261 ). The detection rate for the File.org files collected here is 12%. Please read on for more details.
You'll typically see File.org when double-clicking to run 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 File.org certificate with the following steps:

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