INSAFE - 53% Detection Rate *
Did you just run into a download or a file on your computer that has been digitally signed by INSAFE? Some of the security products refers to the detected files as Gen:Variant.Jaik.25130 and Gen:Variant.Adware.Symmi.41736. The detection rate for the INSAFE files collected here is 53%. Please read on for more details.
You will typically notice INSAFE when running the file. The publisher name is then displayed as the "Verified publisher" in the UAC dialog as the screencap shows:
You can view additional details from the INSAFE certificate with the following steps:
- Open Windows Explorer and locate the INSAFE file
- Right-click on the file and select Properties
- Click on the Digital Signatures tab
- Click the View Certificate button
Here is a screencap of a file signed by INSAFE:
As you can see in the screencap above, the Windows OS reports that "This digital signature is OK". This implies that the file has been published by INSAFE 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 see the address for INSAFE, such as the street name, city and country.
Thawte Code Signing CA - G2 has issued the INSAFE certificates. You can also view the details of the issuer by clicking the View Certificate button shown in the screenshot above.
