Webroot Inc. - 0.455% Detection Rate *

Did you just find a download or a file on your computer that is digitally signed by Webroot Inc.? If that's the case, please read on.

You'll probably see Webroot Inc. when double-clicking to run the file. The publisher name is displayed as the "Verified publisher" in the UAC dialog as the screencap shows:

You can view the additional details from the Webroot Inc. digital signature with the following procedure:

  1. Open up Windows Explorer and locate the Webroot Inc. file
  2. Right-click the file and select Properties
  3. Click on the Digital Signatures tab
  4. Click the View Certificate button

Here is a screenshot of a file that has been signed by Webroot Inc.:

As you can see in the screenshot above, Windows reports that "This digital signature is OK". This means that the file has been published by Webroot Inc. and that no one has tampered with the file.

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 Webroot Inc., such as the street name, city and country.

VeriSign Class 3 Code Signing 2010 CA and DigiCert Assured ID Code Signing CA-1 has issued the Webroot Inc. certificates. You can also view the details of the issuer by clicking the View Certificate button shown in the screenshot above.

Webroot Inc. Files

These are the Webroot Inc. files I've collected, thanks to the FreeFixer users.

The FreeFixer tool treats files from Webroot Inc. as safe, which means that the Webroot Inc. 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 Webroot Inc. file(s). My guess is that those detections are incorrect and that the files are safe. It is unlikely that Webroot Inc. would ship a malware file.
