IA-KAR - 2% Detection Rate *

Did you just find a download or a file on your computer that has a digital signature from IA-KAR? If that's the case, please read on.

You will typically notice IA-KAR when running the file. The publisher name shows up as the "Verified publisher" in the UAC dialog as the screenshot shows:

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 IA-KAR and that no one has tampered with the file.
