Prof-IT - 73% Detection Rate *
Did you just find a download or a file on your computer that has a digital signature from Prof-IT? Some of the security products refers to the detected files as Trojan.GenericKD.2693744 and Trojan.GenericKD.2730200. The detection rate for the Prof-IT files collected here is 73%. Please read on for more details.
You will typically see Prof-IT when running the file. The publisher name is then displayed as the "Verified publisher" in the UAC dialog as the screenshot shows:
You can view the digital signature details for Prof-IT with the following steps:
- Open Windows Explorer and locate the Prof-IT file

Here's a screenshot of a file that has been signed by Prof-IT:
As you can see in the screenshot above, the Windows OS reports that "This digital signature is OK". This means that the file has been published by Prof-IT and that the file has not been tampered with.
