Intel(R) Software - 0.015% Detection Rate *

Did you just stumble upon a download or a file on your computer that has been digitally signed by Intel(R) Software? If so, please read on.

You will probably notice Intel(R) Software when double-clicking to run the file. The publisher name shows up as the "Verified publisher" in the UAC dialog as the screencap shows:

You can view additional details from the Intel(R) Software certificate with the following steps:

1. Open Windows Explorer and locate the Intel(R) Software file
2. Right-click 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 signed by Intel(R) Software:

As you can see in the screengrab above, Windows states that "This digital signature is OK". This means that the file has been published by Intel(R) Software and that the file has not been tampered with.

If you click the View Certificate button shown in the screencap above, you can examine all the details of the certificate, such as when it was issued, who issued the certificate, how long it is valid, and so on. You can also see the address for Intel(R) Software, such as the street name, city and country.

Intel External Basic Issuing CA 3B and Intel External Basic Issuing CA 3A has issued the Intel(R) Software certificates. You can also see the details of the issuer by clicking the View Certificate button shown in the screenshot above.

Intel(R) Software Files

The following are the Intel(R) Software files I have gathered, thanks to the FreeFixer users.

The FreeFixer tool treats files from Intel(R) Software as safe, which means that the Intel(R) Software files will appear with a green background and that there's 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 Intel(R) Software file(s). My guess is that those detections are false positives and that the files are safe. It is unlikely that Intel(R) Software would ship a malware file.

Scanner and Detection Names

Here is the detection names for the Intel(R) Software files. I've grouped the detection names by each scanner engine. Thanks to VirusTotal for the scan results.

As mentioned above, I think these detections are false positives since it is very unlikely that Intel(R) Software would ship a malware file.

* How the Detection Percentage is Calculated

The detection percentage is based on the fact that I have collected 6628 scan results for the Intel(R) Software files. 1 of these scan reports came up with some sort of detection. If you like, you can view the full details of the scan reports by examining the files listed above.
