I was searching for win rar and found this winrar-x64-540. Windows 10 told me not to install it as the signature wasn't present, but by reflex I clicked Install.
It's a 240k program but it didn't do anything when I launched it, which is why I was alerted..
Then my computer started closing down inadvertantly!
Thanks for this fix. Hope it works. Cheers

@Berto: It sounds very suspicious that there was no signature on the winrar-x64-540.exe file. WinRar is usually signed by "win.rar GmbH".

The file listed here is digitally signed by "win.rar GmbH", so I think it is safe to use. I noticed that Baidu, Cyren and Rising detect the file, but I think that those detections are a false positive.
