Welcome! If you are a regular here on the FreeFixer blog you know that I’ve been looking on the certificates used to sign files that bundled various types of unwanted software. Today I found another certificate, used by a publisher called Trusted Download LLC.

This is how Trusted Download LLC appears when running the file:

It is also possible to check a digital signature by looking at a file’s properties. Here’s a screenshot of the Trusted Download LLC certificate.

So, why am I writing about the Trusted Download LLC file? Check out what the anti-malware scanners report about the file:

Avira classifies Setup(1).exe as PUA/Softpulse.Gen, Kaspersky reports not-a-virus:Downloader.Win32.DriverUpd.lqs and Qihoo-360 detects it as HEUR/QVM18.1.Malware.Gen are a few of the detection names for Setup(1).exe.

Did you also find a Trusted Download LLC file? What kind of download was it? If you remember the download link, please post it in the comments below.

Thanks for reading.
