Oracle Corporation - 0.032% Detection Rate *

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

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

As you can see in the screencap above, Windows states that "This digital signature is OK". This implies that the file has been published by Oracle Corporation and that the file has not been tampered with.

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

Oracle Corporation Files

The following are the Oracle Corporation files I've collected, thanks to the FreeFixer users.

The FreeFixer tool treats files from Oracle Corporation as trusted, which means that the Oracle Corporation files will appear with a green background and that there's 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 Oracle Corporation file(s). I'm pretty sure those detections are false positives and that the files are safe. It's unlikely that Oracle Corporation would ship a malware file.

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