Hi there! Just a short post on a publisher called MaxAgile (New Media Holdings Ltd.) before going back to some coding on FreeFixer.

You can also check who signed a file by checking the digital signature tab. According to the embedded certificate we can see that MaxAgile (New Media Holdings Ltd.) seems to be located in Tel Aviv, Israel and that the certificate is issued by GlobalSign CodeSigning CA – G2.

The issue is that chrome-download.exe is not an official Google Chrome download. If it was, it should be digitally signed by Google Inc.. Here’s how the authentic Google Chrome looks like when you double click on it. Notice that the “Verified publisher” says “Google Inc”.

The scan result from VirusTotal below clearly shows why you should avoid the MaxAgile (New Media Holdings Ltd.) file. It is detected under names such as Trojan.InstallCore.1364, PUP.Optional.InstallCore and InstallCore (fs).

Did you also find a MaxAgile (New Media Holdings Ltd.) file?

Thanks for reading.
