Hello readers! If you’ve been following my recent posts here on the FreeFixer blog, you know that I’ve been looking at files that have a valid digital signature and bundle various types of potentially unwanted programs and programs that works as a downloader. A few days ago I found another publisher named Platform Connector (Fried Cookie Ltd.).
Information about a digital signature and the certificate can be found under the Digital Signature tab. The screenshot shows the Platform Connector (Fried Cookie Ltd.) certificate. From the certificate info we can see that Platform Connector (Fried Cookie Ltd.) appears to be located in Tel Aviv in Israel.
So, why am I writing about the Platform Connector (Fried Cookie Ltd.) file? Check out what the anti-viruses report about the file:
Avira detects installer_jdownloader_English.exe as Adware/InstallCore.734264, ESET-NOD32 reports a variant of Win32/InstallCore.WX potentially unwanted, K7GW reports Trojan ( 004b61851 ) and VIPRE reports InstallCore (fs) are a few of the detection names for installer_jdownloader_English.exe.
Did you also find a Platform Connector (Fried Cookie Ltd.) file? Do you remember where you downloaded it?
Thank you for reading.
The request to download it came with the firefox browser download. I denied it.
