OpenDNS - 0% Detection Rate *

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

You will typically see OpenDNS when clicking to run the file. The publisher name is displayed as the "Verified publisher" in the UAC dialog as the screenshot shows:

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

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

Here is a screenshot of a file digitally signed by OpenDNS:

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 OpenDNS 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, and so on. You can also view the address for OpenDNS, such as the street name, city and country.

COMODO RSA Code Signing CA, COMODO Code Signing CA 2 and UTN-USERFirst-Object has issued the OpenDNS certificates. You can also view the details of the issuer by clicking the View Certificate button shown in the screenshot above.
