Jotzey - 20% Detection Rate *

Did you just run into a download or a file on your computer that has a digital signature from Jotzey? Some of the security products refers to the detected files as PUP.Optional.Jotzey.A and Adware/Agent.jbk. The detection rate for the Jotzey files collected here is 20%. Please read on for more details.

You will probably see Jotzey 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:
