Welcome! If you are a regular here on the FreeFixer blog, you know that I’ve been examining files that have a digital signature and bundle various types of potentially unwanted software. Today I found another publisher named Swift Network (Fried Cookie Ltd.) while reviewing some of the recent files submitted to this web site.

You can see who the signer is when double-clicking on an executable file. Swift Network (Fried Cookie Ltd.) appears in the publisher field in the dialog that pops up. The certificate is issued by GlobalSign CodeSigning CA – G2.

13 of the 56 anti-malware scanners detected the file. The IDM2-Win-EN.exe file is detected as Application.Win32.FriedCookie.CIRK by Comodo, Trojan.InstallCore.44 by DrWeb, Artemis by McAfee-GW-Edition, WS.Reputation.1 by Symantec and InstallCore (fs) by VIPRE.

Did you also find a file digitally signed by Swift Network (Fried Cookie Ltd.)? Where did you find it and are the anti-virus programs detecting it? Please share in the comments below.

Thanks for reading.
