Logitech - 0.032% Detection Rate *

Did you just stumble upon a download or a file on your computer that has a digital signature from Logitech? If that's the case, please read on.

You will probably see Logitech when double-clicking to run the file. The publisher name shows up as the "Verified publisher" in the UAC dialog as the screenshot shows:

You can view additional details from the Logitech certificate with the following steps:

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

Here's a screenshot of a file that has been signed by Logitech:

As you can see in the screenshot above, the Windows OS reports that "This digital signature is OK". This implies that the file has been published by Logitech and that the file has not been tampered with.

If you click the View Certificate button shown in the screenshot 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 Logitech, such as the street name, city and country.

VeriSign Class 3 Code Signing 2004 CA, VeriSign Class 3 Code Signing 2010 CA, VeriSign Class 3 Code Signing 2009-2 CA and Symantec Class 3 SHA256 Code Signing CA has issued the Logitech certificates. You can also view the details of the issuer by clicking the View Certificate button shown in the screenshot above.

Logitech Files

These are the Logitech files I have gathered, thanks to the FreeFixer users.

The FreeFixer tool treats files from Logitech as safe, which means that the Logitech 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 Logitech file(s). I'm pretty sure those detections are incorrect and that the files are safe. It is unlikely that Logitech would ship a malware file.

Scanner and Detection Names

Here is the detection names for the Logitech 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 Logitech would ship a malware file.

* How the Detection Percentage is Calculated

The detection percentage is based on the fact that I've gathered 9247 scan results for the Logitech files. 3 of these scan reports came up with some sort of detection. You can view the full details of the scan reports by examining the files listed above.
