Hewlett-Packard - 0% Detection Rate *

Did you just stumble upon a download or a file on your computer that has been digitally signed by Hewlett-Packard? If so, please read on.

You will probably see Hewlett-Packard when running the file. The publisher name is then displayed as the "Verified publisher" in the UAC dialog as the screenshot shows:

You can view additional details from the Hewlett-Packard certificate with the following procedure:

1. Open Windows Explorer and locate the Hewlett-Packard file
2. Right-click on the file and select Properties
3. Click the Digital Signatures tab
4. Click on the View Certificate button

Here's a screenshot of a file that has been signed by Hewlett-Packard:

As you can see in the screenshot above, Windows states that "This digital signature is OK". This means that the file has been published by Hewlett-Packard and that the file has not been tampered with.

If you click the View Certificate button shown in the screenshot above, you can see all the details of the certificate, such as when it was issued, who issued the certificate, how long it is valid, etc. You can also examine the address for Hewlett-Packard, such as the street name, city and country.

COMODO RSA Code Signing CA and VeriSign Class 3 Code Signing 2004 CA has issued the Hewlett-Packard certificates. You can also see the details of the issuer by clicking the View Certificate button shown in the screenshot above.

Hewlett-Packard Files

The following are the Hewlett-Packard files I've collected, thanks to the FreeFixer users.

The FreeFixer tool treats files from Hewlett-Packard as safe, which means that the Hewlett-Packard files will appear with a green background and that there is no removal checkbox for the file. However, as you can see in the scan results below, a few of the anti-virus scanners detects the Hewlett-Packard file(s). My guess is that those detections are incorrect and that the files are safe. It is unlikely that Hewlett-Packard would ship a malware file.

* How the Detection Percentage is Calculated

The detection percentage is based on that I have gathered 1105 scan results for the Hewlett-Packard files. 0 of these scan reports came up with some sort of detection. You can review the full details of the scan results by examining the files listed above.
