Hello readers! If you’ve been following me for the last year you know that I’ve been examining many software publishers that put a digital signature on their downloads. Today I found another publisher called VLADIMIR MASLOV.

If you have a VLADIMIR MASLOV file on your computer you may have noticed that VLADIMIR MASLOV pops up as the publisher in the User Account Control dialog when running the file. The certificate information can also be viewed from Windows Explorer. The screenshot below shows the VLADIMIR MASLOV certificate. From the certificate info we can see that VLADIMIR MASLOV appears to be located in Minsk, Belarus.

If you are considering to run the VLADIMIR MASLOV signed file, I’ll advice you not to. Delete it instead. Just check out detection list by some of the anti-virus program:

ClamAV classifies Download Uc Browser V Handler Zip.exe as Win.Adware.Graftor-1196, F-Prot calls it W32/S-bb33fd8b!Eldorado, F-Secure detects it as Gen:Variant.Adware.Terkcop, Microsoft classifies it as SoftwareBundler:Win32/InstalleRex and Sophos detects it as MultiPlug.

Did you also find a VLADIMIR MASLOV file? Do you remember where you downloaded it?

Thank you for reading.
