AppSense - 0% Detection Rate *

Did you just download a file that has a digital signature from AppSense and wonder if the file is safe? If so, please read on.

You'll typically see AppSense when double-clicking to run the file. The publisher name is displayed as the "Verified publisher" in the UAC dialog as the screengrab shows:
